Your review was direct and honest, and we definitely need more reviews like yours :)T.

Especially when buying books online, and not having the chance to flip through them at the bookstore, it was a critical part of the purchasing process. When I set out to review books, one goal was to rectify what I thought was missing from most reviews. Thank you for the kind words; hopefully it means more people out there agree!<br /><br />Please let me know when and where your next story is published. As I said above, while your story may not have perfectly worked for me, it wasn't bad, and I would be interested in reading more.Luke Forneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983786530673591352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2180221696860810827.post-33763118472408709222010-02-21T12:35:54.972-07:002010-02-21T12:35:54.972-07:00I've only been able to find a handful of revie...I've only been able to find a handful of reviews of the book, and this is the first one I've found that breaks it down on a per-story basis. Thanks for taking the time to write it!<br /><br />I can understand why you might feel like "Nirvana" is anti-climactic. It does just sort of end. That's the unfortunate downside of having a word-space limitation. I had a finale planned but didn't have the space to write it, which would account for the Stephen King's "The Mist"-style ending.<br /><br />I hope that, if it gets published and you happen to read it, my next story is more to your tastes. :)<br /><br />Take care!J.T.
