A good note on the dramatic side is each chapter being a newspaper release originally, which makes the chapters flow really well for me and be nice and dramatic as he wanted folks to buy the next periodical to read it

A lot of old books were published this way. I think Dickens was published in serial, too.

I always think about it whenever I'm watching netflix show episodes that end with a teaser that make you want to watch the next one.
