I think the beginning of the novel,"Galveston" creates a mysterious mood. I think it creates a mysterious mood because, within the first few paragraphs alone, much background information is given about what is assumed to be the main setting of the book. "At the north end was place called the water's edge , a collection of buildings that sat near the bottom of the island's only significant hill."
"..that hill was called lester's hump. reporters were confused by that,for a while , because after a storm a man named lester was found at the top , along with two white women."
"There are three more people to meet . these people came neither by chance nor design - or perhaps more accurately, by acombination of the two."
Quarrington, Paul. Galveston. Toronto, 2004. Print.
You did a good job of describing the mood of this book , and it looks like a good book to read.
