When it’s revealed that Bobby Rose help restore retirement funds to those who lost them, readers get his backstory. Did the reveal of past events that led Bobby Rose to become the man (and thief) he is today change your opinion of him? In what way?

I realized that there was no way that Bobby could walk back and live in the light, so he did the best things he could do with his abilities to try to help others.

It made me like Bobby Rose much more and understand why he was doing what he does.

The revel of Bobby's past just confirmed what I had felt about him from the beginning. I don't think his motives were entirely true and altruistic, he made a lot of money for himself after all, but he wasn't the black hearted villain that law enforcement painted him either.

I understood him after we got his backstory. I believe he is a little bit bad, but a lot of good.

I actually think the backstory should have been told sooner. It made Bobby Rose even more interesting than he already was.

I agree with you all! And I especially agree with you, Jessica. I would have liked to have had Bobby's backstory a wee bit sooner. I came to the conclusion early on that he wasn't "all bad"...that there was more to it, but as the story progressed it became clearer that he was wreaking havoc on those who have taken from others/employees. I did consider Bobby a modern day Robin Hood.
