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.
"Not as keen on this one as the other two, but I was so impressed by your knowlege. This is obviously a favourite subject of yours and the study you have put into it is very impressive. The olde English got a bit irritating for me after a while, but I'm an ignorant soul who is easily irritated. I'm still impressed by the professionalism your writing shows. " -- Sooz, Dalton, Cumbria, England.
"Not as easy to get into as the others by this author but I read it twice because I loved the language and the sense of menace. It's a very clever piece when you work out what's going on. Worth the effort." -- Leonard Caville, Key West, Florida.
