The author has probably been influenced by Chris Van Allsburg and his Harris Burdick book, which invites readers to write their own story to explain the pictures in the book. That said, it is interesting how original, unrelated photos can be combined to tell a tale, and add a little history to the mix.

The plotting is slightly simplistic, but the photos are the real selling point for me - I can understand how Riggs was inspired to weave these into his fantastical story.
