"This is an amazing piece of writing. You present these all-too-relevant comments in a delightfully ironic yet ultimately deadly serious tone which reminds me of a lot of Raymond Chandler's later works. Your vision of society is highly perceptive and laudible and you have a clear flair for writing. Keep them coming!" -- S J Fletcher, Australia.
