Seperti RSJ, untuk menamatkan naskah ini agak melelahkan. Novella pertama sangat meruntun perasaan. Kita akanmenjadi sedih dan hiba bila watak dalam cerita iti kerap memutarkan memori tentang ibunya, ayahnya yang malas, kesusahan hidup dan membandingkannya dengan isu feminisme yang melanda negara. Cerita novella kedua agak sukar untuk diteruskan pembacaan. Bayangkan ianya semacam monolog sebatang sungai, rungutan dan rintihan.
