    Excerpt from "The Fourth Wall Syndrome":
    "Ballentine was about to speak again but was cut dead by Gerrard. "What is this wall syndrome thing that you mentioned earlier?" he enquired with genuine interest.

    Grateful to Gerrard for getting the meeting back on track, Middlebrook leant back in his chair and said, "Ah yes 'The Fourth Wall Syndrome'. The term the fourth wall was coined in the nineteenth century by a theatre critic I believe. When you watch a play that is set say, in a sitting room, the stage makes up three walls of the room: two walls, one on each side, and the third at the back of the stage. There is also a fourth, invisible wall which separates the actors from the audience. The actors play out their roles seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are being watched by an audience. Very occasionally actors would talk directly to the audience as part of the plot. This technique often used for comic effect is called 'breaking the fourth wall'. It is sometimes used in film and television these days."

    Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

    At first not sure what this book would turn up, but it totally changed my mind just after reading few pages. Probably one of the best Sci-Fi books.

    This is definitely worth reading. I've read many boring books but this really put my faith into reading books again. At last, good writers are being born again.

    Amazingly brilliant writing skills.

    Each and every character in the book is brilliantly created, likewise I know you'll love every characters and you'll easily get attached without even knowing it.

    My hat's off to such a hard work writer's put through is just unimaginable and really in organised way.
