ch 2,
abuseI like the scientific explanations. The theories and experiemnts and tests all make me think outside of normal everday life. That's always a plus. Usually I can only get that in professional science fiction or philosophy.

There were a couple times when I would almost say that parts of it were cliche or I'd seen before in late night binges on the sci-fi channel, but in the end it was pretty unique.

Another little detail that I like was that you made not only the main characters plausible, but their bosses too. Like that little conversation between Greg and Ralph about the programs. It was more than just a plot device, it was two people with differing points of view. Great job.

abuseWow...I'm surprised at myself for not reading this and leaving a review.

Very good.Kind of sad it was a bit short though...hoping the new one will be lengthy...lengthy ones are great if they are good, like this one.

abusePerfecto, I think this was a very nicely ended story. That's all I can really say, I liked the first part before the end, but the second part seemed a bit rushed. Other than that it was literally a nice story.

abuseToo bad his image didn't come before the even occured. Anyways, the last two chapters were again entertaining, I don't know what to say, for this to be a short book and be complete, it seems very good. I'll continue on.

abuseWell, that was very effective, I had figured something had to happen soon enough, but I wasn't thinking that he would be inside the rocket when it fired. In order to get rid of my curiousity, I'll just move to the next chapter.

abuseI think this was the most productive chapter, not only because of the explanation, but it seems to show something is coming. I'll try to finish it today.

ch 2,
abuseAnother greatly interesting chapter. I liked the deep descriptions in it, but as a suggestion, I might say that possibly in conversation you could state who's talking, inable to not confuse the readers.

abuseThis a very interesting prologue, it definitely has me wondering what happens next, but since I have to work, I have no choice but to come back later. Expect my reviews.

ch 10,
abuseTHAT WAS AWESOME! I love the ending (although I'm sad it ended so soon). I'm still a little puzzled about the whole 'alley incident,' but anyway, more about the ending: I love how you tied in the words, 'above the surface' into his point of view instead of just how the government buildings look above the surface (as opposed to their real, underground purposes). Finally, the thing about visiting Kate made it worthy of becoming a major motion picture if only it was expanded a little (hint, hint). However, I wouldn't want you to ruin it with a sequel if you view that it's best as a solitary work. I could express my views of your works best with the following sentence: You're going on my favorite authors list, and my alert list, and this is going on my favorite stories list.

P.S. I also love how you DON'T USE PROFANITY! Also, thank you for reading WINNER TAKES OIL chapter 3. Let me assure you that chapter 4 is on the way! Finally, let me assure you that the plot is going somewhere. I have a general idea of how its going down, but not all the way along. There are many 'thrillers' coming up!

abuseThis is so great! I just finished Chapter 9. Jeez, Bob, you can crank out the chapters faster than I can keep up with them! I'm glad, though, because it satisfies my interest!

ch 8,
abuseThis was an AWESOME chapter! There was so much action! Not to mention, you leave me hanging in suspense. I'm puzzled about why that agent wants Greg killed and what Vancouver meant by "Fine, but what if he doesn't hold up?" By the way, puzzled is good! It's a true thriller.

P.S. Thanks for reading WINNER TAKES OIL chapter 3! Also, I got your e-mail, but after I had written back and went to send, my computer informed me that that wasn't possible for some reason, so I would've had to write it AGAIN! Anyway, I look forward to the next chapter and am interested in your next story, "The Seminary Gang." Keep up the good work!

ch 7,
abuseI love the story, but I'm a little confused about one thing: what accident in the alley is Greg talking about? Is that when he was driving down the street and stopped ahead of time so he wouldn't hit that kid? Great work! Very exciting! Very good plot line! Can't wait for more.

P.S. Thanks for reading 'WINNER TAKES OIL'! I'm almost done with chapter 3; I just can't decide how to end it. I look forward to reading more of your stuff IN THE FUTURE.

abuseDespite Mr.Anderson's new incredible foresight, it's sad that all of Milestone's research equipment is beyond repair. I was hoping that the Milestone corporation would play an enemy role after the accident or something like that, but I'm only on Chapter 4, so you've probably made the plot quite interesting in a different way.

Oh yeah, and after reading your profile, I guess I was wrong about you being close to Flagler college. How did you hear of it?
