"The way a book is read, which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts into it." - Norman Cousins

8. The Boxes
What is inside the boxes? It's a somewhat predictable question but a good one. The whole book so far is based around these boxes. These [unopened] boxes have something inside them that aren't very friendly. The main character's uncle is adamant that these boxes are not opened. The boxes look like they're made of seamless adamantium, but by instructing not to open them he implies that there is some way to get them open. This question strikes people's curiosity. If you can't know what's inside said box than your curiosity will drive you to things unimaginable to see what's in said box. It made Pandora open her box and it made Spongebob sneak into Patrick's house to see what was in his box. Curiosity is what drove me to pick this book out. It looked interesting and I wanted to know what was in those boxes. Once you start thinking about something, it can drive you mad until you find the answer.
