silverdragon4736 2008-07-10 ch 40,	abuseWOW! This story is just BRILLIANT! I just read it from the first chapter to the fortieth and I have not had enough! Spectacular plot, profound characterizations and all of the greatness in between... Update SOON!
Blank-of-the-Eternal-Blank 2008-07-08 ch 40, anon.	abuseI would just like to say that i appreciate the update AND the Action League Now reference...I didnt think anyone else remembered 'Kablam!' or any of the old Nick (Rocko, Angry Beavers, etc.)
jaybriel 2008-07-07 ch 2,	abuseDude, this was good, I especially loved, "Hey Lawrence, I’m Belgium. Feel free to dig your trenches near my backpack." Coz I'm a history geek like that...well I'm a bit of an everything geek really. But as good as it was, you really need to work on a lot grammar and expression points in this chapter. There are a couple of phrases that don't quite sit right. Also you have to make sure that you little history adages are a little more clearly linked to what's happening in the story. I know they may seem clear to you, but for ignorant people such as myself who aren't terribly familiar with some of the subject matter, I think you should just spell it out a little more clearly. The only other matter of note is your flashback sequences which should probably be italicised or something. It's really confusing when they're hiding in there, masquerading as normal paragraphs. Zeke2's whole gay/not gay thing also needs a little more clarity. Because he was in love with his girl friend, blatantly came on to her brother, which seemed a little out of character...just that assertiveness, then he comes out to his mother while she's drunk but still manages to be in denial about being gay when he's attracted to Zeke1. So does he or does he not know he's gay? But seriously. It's great writing. Your ability to sustain yourself over such a long distance is seriously commendable, your references show a seriously great depth of general knowledge and wide reading and all that good stuff...and now I'll shut up before I start sounding too much like an english teacher.
jaybriel 2008-07-07 ch 1,	abuseHey wow this is awesome. I have to say though, I'm getting a little confused with all the pretty boys you're throwing at me! I mean wow! We Zeke, Zeke, Lawrence, Anthony, Charlie...good gravy. I can't wait to find out who gets with who an' all that jazz. On a more serious note, I love some of your expression. In general this is extremely well written, but then you jut have to go and make a good thing, just that little bit better...like the cloud description was beautiful, as was the star thing at the end. Awesome.
Holloway 2008-07-02 ch 1,	abuseHi, I've probably reviewed this story before, but it was probably about year ago if I did. I've just re-discovered this and I wanted to say how amazing it is. I love the complexity, the way that you capture the insanity that is the teenaged brain and how you make us really believe in the characters. Zeke B's brilliant, the little devices that you use ( history, quotes) are really interesting. Holloway x x
amnesiac-vampire 2008-06-30 ch 40,	abuse-snorts- i used to watch that show all the time when i was younger xD So pyro, how short /did/ you cut hair if you don't mind me asking? why?! now i'm going to have to wait a whole nother chapter to figure out what's up with anthony. -sighs- though this man in the tahoe sort of makes up for it. pretty good chapter, as always, update soon!
singsthetune 2008-06-29 ch 40,	abuseLove it... it really IS like you had this planned all along =P I do miss Sam, though...
Ty Taco 2008-06-29 ch 40,	abuseLOVED THIS CHAPPIE! Can't wait for 41. :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo, Ty
Catseye*Rose 2008-06-28 ch 40,	abuseAnd just when it starts to get clearer...something else happens that's confusing. Gahh... But I guess everything will be explained in the end! I'll just have to be patient... Looking forward to the next chapter! XD
amnesiac-vampire 2008-06-15 ch 39,	abuseAwesomeness!! I can't wait till all my questions are answered!! Great chapter, I hope you update soon!
Ty Taco 2008-06-14 ch 39,	abuseI'm glad you're back in action, because this story is hard to follow with the HUGE update gap. So, now that I am back on track with the plot, hopefully the steady updates will keep me reading. :) Not hopefully...definitely. As long as there isn't another huge gap in the near future, you have one reader secured. :) xoxoxoxo, Ty
Catseye*Rose 2008-06-14 ch 39,	abuseYay! We're making leeway! Alright, so Zeke should probably never drink again... :S
Thread of Life 2008-06-14 ch 39,	abuseWow! Quick update! Err I really want to know what happened!! And I kinda miss the Zeke/Sam/Zeke friendship. Did we find out what happened to the other Zeke and Sam? I remember she was upset..
Skyfeather2 2008-06-11 ch 38,	abuseThis is very interesting. It can be confusing at times, especially with the Zeke/ Zeke thing, hard to distinguish. I love all the metaphors and symbolism that you use and the allusions to history. It adds something to the story that makes you feel like reading it may possibly make you smarter instead of wasting your homework/supposed-to-be-studying-for-AP-Euro-Test time =). There's some spelling/grammer errors here and there so be careful about that, but not too many. Some of the characters are a bit too oblivious for realism- like the whole Ellie/Kevin thing, SOMEone would have caught on by now.. its been months. But maybe not, people can be oblivious when they don't WANT to believe that something is true, aka denial. and OMG it tok me forever to get the whole Zeke name thing- Zach, Ellie, Kevin, Echo. When I did I was like OHH! out loud, which wasn't really best because then I got some weird stares.. But anyway yeah, that's really clever. I was always wondering why they would pick that particular name, it seems to random, but now it makes perfect sense =). Overall your story is good, the cliff-hamngers keep the reader interested and wanting more but getting answers instead of more questions is always nice.. too many questions can ruin a perfectly good story. And I'm worried about the update thing. I just found this story today and only after reading it all did I realize you started it 2years ago. If you're going to take so long to update, the least you could do is make the chpaters longer. I know you're probably very busy with college coming and all, but more often then once every 2-5months would be nice.. So anyway, keep writing, your style is really good, like I said I love your symbolism and historic comments, and I also love how you put random flashbacks all over the place. Very interesting to read. Will be looking forward to a new update, hope it's soon =)
