 Wind's Fury 2009-09-13 . chapter 50Amazing, that's all I have to say. You sir have made it into my favorites. I usually just read the first chapter for reviews, but I just wanted to see how the story went. I like how you made the story told through letters through the story, I just tend to like stories told in a different way. I also liked how the ending played out, it was also nice that you switched styles, it really worked to make the story end better. I assume his father lost his memory? That's what John/Jane Doe is used for, I think. |
 SoneAnna 2009-09-04 . chapter 50And lastly:
Well...I must say the ending sorta confused me. I'm taking it that "John Doe" was Tommy's dad, but the comment about foreign adoption...was that supposed to signal something? Or was it just a meaningless comment? And also the fact of Tommy flipping out and punching his dad seemed sort of out of character for him. He seemed like such a hopeful boy, thiough I could understand hwere his anger came from it just seemed so...sudden.
What I did like, was the narrative format of the end. It wraps up a very compelling read oh so nicely. |
 SoneAnna 2009-09-04 . chapter 49Ja! I actually have finished this, but I didn't review it. Ehehehe.
So:
Well, I think you've done a good job in these last few chapters of making the dad a real bastard, hehehe. It stirs a lot of smypathy for Tommy, as for years and years he wrote and then one day his dad decides to care.
I'm liking the dates on the letters, too. Because various parts of the story jump between time periods, it helps more to be able to understand what has been going on. At least for people like me. XD |
 Death-of-Penguins 2009-08-11 . chapter 50I liked this. It was...insightful. I thought it was nice to see the development from young child upwards.
Sorry if this all sounds dead formal. First review on this site. I've just realised what I've been missing. Well, see ya1 |
 James 2009-08-03 . chapter 50 Well. That was amazing. The ending was filled with emotion, and it made me cry. Great job. |
 k.maag 2009-08-03 . chapter 50Wow. What a powerful ending to a powerful story.
I liked the emotional quality and reality behind this story.
Now that it's over, I only have two suggestions:
1. I don't know if putting it in the "humor" category was especially accurate, even though the story was funny at times.
2. If Tommy was 30 years old at the end of the story, realistically speaking, his teen angst that would have gone with his situation in reality during say, 8th grade would have dissipated by then. So I don't know if the ending of the story suspended my disbelief as much as it could have, but I liked it nonetheless.
Thank you for finishing the story in such a striking way. |
