 SSSSS 2006-02-04 . chapter 1Well, well, haven't seen much new from you lately. I'll have to mention that I have a new way of reviewing--just to make sure you understand that I'm not trying to be mean. I make a list of all critiques, and things I find awkward, and then I leave an overall note at the end. No flaming, I swear.
1) "He was a typical old man; short, balding, wrinkled and hunched over." That semi-colon should be a colon.
2) "He lived in a modest house[,] on a large hill[,] on the far side of the island, with a giant banana tree in his backyard." There should be commas where I placed them in []'s.
3) "'That elephant tries to get anyone any way he can...'" There should be a fourth dot since the ellipsis is at the end of a complete sentence.
4) Like the comment above, at the end, there should be a fourth dot to finish the complete sentence.
Hahah, this is the kind of thing I'd expect to see in a Monty Python film. I can just imagine somebody like John Cleese playing as an old, paranoid man. Good short story.
