The Confusion

The Confusion is a merging of Bonanza and The Juncto, which I think is more than the mere sum of the two parts. The weaving of the stories together makes for a very readable volume, with slow patches in each individual story line being covered nicely with a switch to the other. Additionally there are a few several year gaps in the stories which would be much more jarring if there wasn't something from the other story line in between. Overall, I think I prefer to read these two books in this con-fused manner, instead of separately.

The Juncto

This story follows Eliza has Jack's actions in affect her life in Europe. Its an interesting tale, although I'm not happy with how Eliza is treated at the end.

Bonanza

This is a story about Jack Shaftoe travelling the world after making his poor business decision at the end of the previous book. I think it best serves as a foil to The Juncto, as the story line takes a few irrelevant turns and has some big gaps in it which are jarring.
