I read it in one sitting. Yes partly because doh…it is a short story. But you know that even short story’s sometimes need more than one sitting. My main issue is that it has this great concept, it’s original, I would dare to say even griping BUT it lacks. What it mainly lacks is another 100 pages. 100 pages of all the emotional crap that makes us human. The emotional baggage that makes you love or hate the characters.
Another issue I had is with the writing style. Well maybe not writing style per say, since some sentences were pure poetry. But here is the problem with elaborate sentences and words. They break the flow of the reading. So far I never had so many issues and here I was…thanking kindle cloud reader for having a dictionary. While this is very good for my self-learning, I dislike it while reading because it breaks the flow.
So to tight things up … I’m pissed. Yes. I’m pissed because this could be so much bigger and grander. I’m pissed for the premise this evoked, but not fully delivered … I’m pissed for the newborn baby that could grow up into something exceptional but got snuffed in early stages and now all that is left is an idea of what it could have been.
