Once again, very good. You captured the loss of innocence on the God-forsaken quite nicely.Do you have a myspace? Cuz I think I found it. If it's not you, it's your long-lost twin.

This is very good. I love how you compare the boy with other animals to show his transition.. becoming a primitive beast. The atmosphere was so.. intriguing. I've never read the book, but I am definitely going to. Great word choice.-Jade
