What is your opinion?
Amazing!
"This was a great first chapter! I want to know more and hope to possibly find it on Amazon. The portrayal of the protagonist and his scars were vivid and affecting. It was very evocative. I would definitely read more by this author."
It took me a while to make something of this piece....
"I had to leave this story for a little while after reading it before sitting down to write this review just to let it sink in and I'm very glad that I did. On initial reading, I didn't really feel very much and I ended up walking away from it because I figured that I just didn't get it. But when I came back to it again, I realised that my lack of any kind of feeling is actually the point really. I suppose if anyone feels the same when they come to review this piece, my advice would be to leave it for a while and see how you feel about it later because time completely changed my perspective on it. As a reader, we are following a main character who has been emotionally severed from the rest of the world and it is difficult to read something like that without also feeling slightly detached. In that sense, I think the author hit the nail right on the head there. Technically this is a great piece and I would certainly be interested in reading a little more at some stage. The only real reason that it drops any stars at all is because, whilst I could appreciate it, I couldn't really bring myself to say that I enjoyed it. But it certainly left me intrigued to find out what happens next so as far as I'm concerned that shouldn't really be a downer. Nicely done, even if it did leave me feeling a little melancholy...."
