There were several instances in the chapter where the English was somewhat stilted... the communication was clear and unambiguous but the choice of words seemed like what a non-native-English-speaker might have chosen. The unusualness of the phraseology stood out sufficiently to cause me to be surprised the name of the author appears to be the type of name a native speaker of English would have.
I look forward the the second and subsequent chapters and feel enlightened and better educated for having read the first chapter. That having been said, the first chapter, intentionally, did not actually have any information about Spring itself since it's purpose was to provide a background context and perspective. Hopefully the quality of the rest of the book will match the thoughtfulness of this first chapter.
