Table 2

Average number of tweets and retweets per each user (avg/usr), per chapter (avg_ch) and per chapter per each user (avg_ch/usr). Medians per user are reported to better understand the distribution of data. Data for chapters 19 and 20 have been excluded, since they are two afterwords to the novel and have been commented on only by a few users. Variation from phase 1 to phase 2 is indicated in brackets as a percentage
