anon 2008-05-25 ch 11, anon.	abuseThis is almost exactly like novel 1984 and Anthem, only the writing is truly inferior. This story would really fit better in the fan-fiction catagory. I don't mean to say you are a bad writer, it's just that when you an almost identical plotline, it tend to invoke comparison. Many of your other stories are much better and you will develope much better as a writer if you make it your goal to write unique pieces that add to the body of literature, rather than diminishing that which already exists under the spreading chestnut tree.
janet 2008-05-08 ch 1, anon.	abuseGreat...I want more!
Written 2007-12-07 ch 1,	abuseI reread this story from time to time because I find myself forgetting it but remembering that I found it beautiful. As soon as I read the first word, it all comes back to me, in a rush. beautiful work.
Carrie 2007-07-31 ch 11, anon.	abuseAnd moving on... Another great story, but very different. It's like a mix of Fahrenheit 451 and Anthem. Very odd, but very cool. It seems so short. Very tragic too. Well, I have spent half the night reading, so I need to get at least some sleep! Love your stories, though!
: : Lil skyangel : : 2007-07-04 ch 11, anon.	abuseThis was really cute ^ ^ It's really well done considering you were paralleling the past and the present. I personally find that really difficult. Nice fic ah~ ^^ : : Lil Skyangel : :
BlueCrystal 2007-06-19 ch 11, anon.	abuseWow, this was really good. So depressing. It reminds me of other things, like Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, or other stories of awful futures where everything is controlled by awful people who are the only ones that don't adhere to the rules they put in place for everyone else to suffer by. It was so touching, I couldn't help but cry. Good job.
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 11, anon.	abuseWow. ...I loved that ending. It ruled, even though it was short. That's okay. So. The likable list, just in case you wanted to know about my fav characters: 1. Bind (From the way I reacted last chapter, how could it be anyone else? Seriously, I don't know why I like him so much; I just do.) 2. Memory (She comes in close second to Bind. Like Bind, I dont know why I like her--I just do.) 3. None 4. None 5. None 6. Snoop (Should be lower on my likable list, but unfortunately she's not. I like the way you did the character. But she ratted on Memory and Bind; hence her low placement on my likable list.) 7. None 8. None 9. None 10. The commander (He killed Bind. Enough said.) The end of this (and the last chapter, too) sort of reminds me of Muted Dragon's "Runaway" ( It made me go "gasp" just like this one did. If that makes any sense. This review has gotten way too long. So here we go...Tschau, off to look for more stories of yours. ...oh, and this is definitely going on my favorite stories list. :):)
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 10, anon.	abuseLonna stands perfectly still for a moment, reading and rereading the last sentence. Finally... ...You killed him! Omgosh...NO! And they were both so close to being free, too! ...Lonna sputters for a moment, then regains herself to finish her scattered review. Good chapter, even though you cough did kill cough Bind cough but hey, you're the author, and if you want to kill your characters, who am I to stop you? Okay. Just to let you know...I think I may have sounded mad. I'm not. On the contrary--I loved this chapter. But, well, I guess you have to interpret my words your own way, and if I sound mad to you, I sound mad to you. Just remember that I'm really not. (Just in case you cared...) Tschau, now. Off to read the next chapter.
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 9, anon.	abuseOh no. Ohnoohnoohnoohno. Memory shouldn't have trusted her...Oi vae! What else could go wrong? (Oh, probably plenty...Well, off to see what REALLY does go wrong.) :) Tschau.
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 7, anon.	abuseStupid Administration. I like being different and I think tollerating different people is good. (...That could be because I, myself, am blind, and therefore I am "different" which means that they probably wouldn't like me in there very much. Nope.) Anyway, awesome chapter :):) Tschau!
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 4, anon.	abuseThey're like...a resistance or something. That's what they seem like to me, anyway. Or at least--Bind does. I dont know about his family, but whatever. (...That phrase is so uverused by me...) Heheh. Tschau.
Lonna G 2007-04-17 ch 3, anon.	abuseHiyas! It's me again...With new randomness to spout. Yeah, this society really does remind me of The Giver's society, only (if possible) even stricter. After all, not all of them had the same hair, skin and eye color, right? 'Cause Jonas had those blue eyes, and so did Gabriel and the Giver--but did anyone else? I can't remember. Whatever. Tschau.
ADSpencer 2007-02-07 ch 11,	abuseExcellent story! I finally got around to reading the last few chapter and enjoyed them quite a bit! Simple sentencing and loose structure does the story good. I did feel like the ending might have been a bit blunt, but that is probably just a personal vendetta I have against all endings :) (I have a problem with writing endings, you see.) Anyhow, great job! The story deserved more reviews for sure!
ADSpencer 2007-01-22 ch 7,	abuseWonderful chapter! I haven't forgotten to read the rest of this story--I'm just behind on a lot of stuff right now. Anyhow, I will be reading the rest later!
Jaeiyola 2007-01-14 ch 11,	abuseAH!! Wow, a wonderful ending. I had no idea, you were going to end it this way. I love it, my tears are still coming; can't believe they killed Bind. But no matter what, I'm glad Memory and Bind were together again. I'm sorry for not reviewing. School kept me on my toes and my internet at home wasn't working. And after a long while, I am back, hopefully. Thanks for the awesome read. =D
