READER'S REVIEWS (2)
DISCLAIMER: STORYMANIA DOES NOT PROVIDE AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWS. ALL REVIEWS ARE PROVIDED BY NON-ASSOCIATED VISITORS, REGARDLESS OF THE WAY THEY CALL THEMSELVES.

"The idea is very nice, and the characters are good. However, this story has a problem, and it is the same problem as with the most of your poetry (with exception of Thoughts From A Prison Camp (which is an experiment) and To My Blooming Rose). That problem is too much editing. While I don't think that poetry should be just an emotional outburst, it looks as if you had edited it and then re-edited it...Until it lost most of it's freshness. Take it easy. Try to just feel the words, try playing with words. It doesn't have to be technically perfect. It is good that you really work on your texts and that you don't just publish everything that you can think of... But it's okay if you relax a bit. Best wishes!" -- Ivana Milakovic.
"Whoa! Calm down with that thesaurus mate! Seriously though, despite you're quest to never use the same descriptive word twice the story is very readable and quite enchanting. I hope the sense of innocence between the lines won't fade as ya get older mate, its a nice touch. Keep up the stuff man, ya got a good imagination, but like that russian bird sez, relax!" -- G Pearson, England.
