My Pal The Bug #1: For They Know Not... on Aug. 20, 2010

This was a fun piece. I'm all for mixing mysticism with guns! I'd have given it five stars if they could have shot up the monks.
Ms Fixit on Aug. 20, 2010

Very brief, with a nice concept, though the midstream POV shift threw me off. Perhaps a section break was in order, though it might be too short of a piece for that. Watch out for passive descriptions in the opening paragraphs.
Rick's Hostage on Aug. 20, 2010

I really like this story, but maybe my perspective is skewed by that affair I had a couple of years ago. I found myself wondering how the confrontation in the opening scene came about, but not so intensely that I couldn't enjoy the gritty taste of it in my mouth.
Bunnies on Aug. 20, 2010

Great characters and buildup, tapping into how crappy kids are to each other and fears of critters. I wasn't too crazy about half the story centering on Katarina and half on Brendan, and there were a few typos, such as 'breath' where 'breathe' was intended. I think a leaner, 3500-word version would do the trick more effectively, but overall I enjoyed reading it--most importantly, I finished!
Traffic Control on Aug. 27, 2010

I had a hard enough time putting it down that I got it read in a day... Alternatively gritty and humorous. Made construction seem more interesting than I thought it would be. I like how the bad guy is not necessarily evil, but someone who is a bit of a jerk that makes bad decisions any of us could make if they feel threatened. I don't know if I buy the whole courtroom surprise in the middle, but he's past it so fast and on to the consequences that it didn't bother me. I also would have liked for him to get more into Carl's days as a musician--he lifted the cover of the box for a peek but didn't throw it all the way open. Overall, a good, quick read as far as novels go--though I normally like a little more sex and drugs with my rock n' roll.
