 It's the Best! It's the Worst!Readers respond to The Rising Most readers who shared their comments with us loved The Rising, while a few felt it didn't measure up to the rest of the series. Since it's easy to read the series as though the events are happening today (or in the not-too-distant future), some readers thought they stumbled onto a giant continuity gap in references to cell phones and the internet—like movie viewers who spot changing moles, different shoes, automobiles going the wrong way, or people inexplicably popping in and out of scenes.
