Hrmph. I read it last night and was entertained, but I also noticed the
name inconsistency. I think I also saw a conversation which fell out of
phase. One of those extended exchanges of one-liners, without ", said
X", where if you look at the content the sequence of speakers is
A
B
A
B
A
A
B
A
instead of a regular ABABABA. I think I've seen such glitches in other
books as well.
