"What an ironic fate Victor had. Very good story. And I like the title, too. Congrats!!!" -- Luis Felipe Moura, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.
"As I've already told you, I enjoyed the story, but thought I'd better review it for you too. Well, I thought it was well written, as it wasn't too gory or sickening (in the Victor sense), and the ending was good, but you could have delved deeper into the Rollerball-esque making more violence to get bigger crowds etc." -- Jack Brown.
