What is your opinion?

I liked it!

"I chose this story because of two reasons; 1) the plot looked interesting, 2) because it was based in South Africa. And boy, this short story takes you right back to the South African cultures and languages and warmth! I love how the story progresses and really enjoyed how the author laid out and structured it. I loved the main character and her family, friends. The plot was enjoyable, interesting and engaging. Some technical clean up would be a good idea, but it doesn't hinder the overall story, which I liked very much."

A story about adapting to change!

"The way the characters evolve throughout the story is great. My favourite parts are in the farm. Oubaas and Trina are my favourite characters. The writing style is very relflective of Monica's shy simple and shy persona. The only draw-back was the ocassional places where there was no space between words where there should have been. Apart from that, it was an amazing story over-all. I love the symbollism of the chameleon and the subtle hints of it throughout the story like-wait! I don't want to give the readers spoilers so, people, just go and read it yourselves!!"
