 OrangeRose143 2009-08-23 . chapter 3Hii! You probably don't read the reviews for everyone of your stories, but in this case, I was hyperventilating at the end of Badass, Bass Playing Stepbrother from hell so much at the end. Then I heard there was a sequal. So then I stopped hyperventilating. Anyway, are you a Beta Reader? Because I'm looking for one. Thanks!! |
 rainstains tarte 2009-08-01 . chapter 3Okay, wait. There are so many things wrong with this. I know you've completed to story, so this really won't change anything. But that fact is, the problem still exists. I haven't read further into the story beyond this point, so excuse the problems I bring up that are going to be explained later on in the story.
So here it is.
Why was Dougie sent to military school when he was eighteen? You actually need to consult the eighteen-year-old before he can go into military school. Dougie was an adult. In the later years he was in military school, why didn't he just leave? He could have if he found it miserable. He was an ADULT that never consented to enrolling in the school. It's just not how it works.
And why did his father send him there? Does his dad even care about him? No person would do that to their own son, and still say they love him. I never once heard Dougie questioning if his father cared for him as much as he used to. And when he came back from school, he even said that his father looked at him warily, just waiting for him to leave. What the heck? After three years a father doesn't want to even talk to his own son? After all this, I still don't hear Dougie saying anything about his father's lack of love for him. Yeah, he questioned his father if he just wanted to get rid of him, but that's not enough. He didn't speak about love. It's important. And on a side not, what does Marie think of Dougie and Ted's relationship? You never really explained that.
And what about Dougie's future? Surly his parents didn't want him to go into the army, right? That's why people go to military school in the first place (if they are adults, and in this case, Dougie is an adult). What I'm saying is, since Dougie just got out of military school, he just waisted three years of his life by missing out on three years of uni or college. What the heck is he going to do now? Stupid move on parents' parts. Are they dumb?
So about the whole protecting-Dougie-from-the-fact-that-his-mother-is-still-alive deal, I still don't understand how that concept came into reason. In the end, this is what I got. Ted, by request of his wife, wanted to protect Dougie from the fact that his mother wanted to get a divorce from his father? I supposed that Dougie's mother's death is a far less painful and desperate thing to go through. I'm sure that's not the case, but from the way you wrote it, it kind of seemed like it was.
So last, apparently Rikki's forgiven her mother? 'Cos that's how is seemed in the Epilogue. I actually wouldn't forgive my mother after just three months of having my lover being kicked out by my mother and her husband. Honestly, in time she will forgive her mother, but then? It just doesn't seem right. But in this story, Rikki hasn't really had a big part in chapter 3. So i'll read what comes next, and maybe what i said about her and her mother before will be negated. But yeah, as of now. . .
I loved the Prequel story, by the way. But starting from the last chapter of that story was where something went wrong. Military school, like i said, just doesn't work.
I care enough about this story to review. That's why I'm doing this. :) Do you really think i would write all this if i didn't love it? |
