Interesting. My Wed. Bible Study class completed the study of Revelation in January, and they just chose to study Acts as the next class. My first question was, “What would our New Testament look like if there was no book of Acts?” Imagine going from John to Romans with no Acts in between. It had to be there.

Have you ever noticed a change in tone when the Acts change over from being written in the third person to being written in the first person? (i.e., "they" starts to become "we") (starts around when St. Paul and Silas visited Troas in Luke 16:9-11)

Yes. Some scholars say that in the first part Luke was writing what he had been related to him and picked up with the “we” when he wrote about what happened that he witnessed. Some say that it is two different writers. I’m in favor of the former theory.
