The ratings are so subjective; it's definitely hard to give out 1 star. I think it could be a good book, though. Thanks for commenting!

It really is! It's like if this had just been professionally edited. I hate having to rate this a 1 star. Thanks!CatInTheHat wrote: ↑09 Apr 2018, 15:39 It's so hard when we see a great story beneath an editing mess.

You're a poet!Miriam Molina wrote: ↑10 Apr 2018, 04:50 The PTSD seems to have affected the story. The title is intriguing, and the plot seems interesting. Sadly, the execution failed miserably. Oh, Henry will make me blue.
Thanks, Kandscreeley, for the grounded review.
P.S. Look at the title of your review. There is a missing piece. Coincidence?
I noticed when I accepted it to review that the title was missing the word "War." I thought maybe it was just a glitch, but it is kind of indicative of the lack of editing in the content. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks! I know that authors put a lot of time into these works.Jbluestocking2 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2018, 23:00 I must admit that even the premise of this book seems a little unoriginal. And one of my biggest pet peeves is not caring about central characters mid way through the book! But I appreciate that you acknowledge the effort of the author, and point out the ways in which the book could be helped. Thanks for your thoughtful review!

I think the most disappointed I've ever been is when an author tells you the book is going to be one thing, and it turns out to be something completely different. I always feel like I get hoodwinked. Thanks for commenting!

You're right about that. He must have stolen something important. I guess you'll have to read it to find out what.
