Thanks for the appreciation, MsTri! I try to make each review memorable. It's my way of fulfilling my dream of writing.MsTri wrote: ↑06 Jan 2018, 19:37 I hadn't actually planned to comment, even though I read your whole review, but then I got to your last line and had to comment that it was brilliant! I love a great ending line almost as much as a great intro, and you nailed it! As for the book, sorry you had to endure that. I too have read a few 1-2 star books here and no matter how short they are, they're still torturous, especially if they're full of grammatical errors.

Hi, Kabayan! There were, in fact, more characters! I admire the author for creating a multi-layered story using but 16 pages. But the delivery was severely flawed.inaramid wrote: ↑06 Jan 2018, 20:43 Let me echo one of the comments above: "WOW! 16 PAGES?!" With the number of characters, that was bound to be confusing. Perhaps this was originally in his language and was just translated to appeal to an international audience? Regardless, I agree that the author could have invested more of his resources in a good editor.

I felt bad giving the death sentence, but I couldn't give a higher rating. Very basic writing rules were violated.Roggyrus wrote: ↑07 Jan 2018, 00:52 Reviewer Molina, I am impressed and delighted with your good text, and your use of the pun in your sentences. You really made sufficient evidence for handing a verdict of 1 out of 4 stars for this book. But the book, being only comprised of a few pages, and granting those are all written anomalies, would you reconsider that the evidence is still scant for sending the book to the gallows? lol. Don't misunderstand me, but I really love your review.
Thanks for your kind words, Roggyrus. I hope to read your work soon.

This book will be thrown by CommMayo in the garbage. ^_^Sadly, the book (of barely sixteen pages) never stood a chance. Only into the second paragraph, my list of grammatical errors already had ten items. By the second page, I stopped counting.
I appreciate your effort to get to know the author more.
So sad to hear you felt disappointed to the errors you found.

Never mind if ever she had really fallen down on the snowboard when I mentioned her name. ^_^ She got a perfect reviewer score when she came back. She was able to free her mind from the stress of feeding her hubby, their pets and herself.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑11 Jan 2018, 05:36 Hi, Dolor! I think CommMayo's passion for good grammar has stuck with you. She might be falling off her snowboard right now, lol!

I wonder why you did not review a book after this. I'm waiting for your latest book review. ^_^

Hi, Kieran_Obrien! You are clearly still very young and untouched by the world's dirty hands. Sadly, money is the motivation for many of this world's souls. I hope that you will remain unblemished as you leave school and face the dark witches and wizards, not of Harry Potter's world, but of real life. I also hope I am not scaring you, LOL!Kieran_Obrien wrote: ↑22 Jan 2018, 08:34 Is it just me or are characters motivated by money just plain boring? I have no interest in reading a story about rich people wanting to get richer. It's not a compelling motivation. Or maybe others think differently?

P.S. Thank you for the compliment. I try to be clever once in a while.
