I’ve always found it really jarring when a book, tv series or a movie jumps around between several storylines. Pulling that off seems to be really hard.
It can be done, in novels at least, and there are some authors who not only do it well, but it’s just their style. Neal Asher is particularly good at this; I just think it wasn’t JRRT’s strength as writer.
