Guest 1/30/13 . chapter 1 Pretty cool! I saw the trailer! Its awesome! Great job ;) |
Historicalbookworm 12/7/12 . chapter 5Awesome story! |
Nintendo Fan 101 9/4/12 . chapter 5Sounds alot like what Phillip Garrido did to Jaycee Dugard for 18 years. |
nylet 8/2/12 . chapter 5It was good, the plot was exquisite (Am I even using the right term? I just don't know) but it was... short... and a little fast-paced, I guess. I think details would've made it perfect. It ended maybe too quick and had some emptiness in it but, nevertheless, I liked it! |
Navaura 7/21/12 . chapter 5Wow, now that's a great exit. |
Guest 7/20/12 . chapter 5 Awwww it had a happy ending but good story anyway! Really liked it keep up the nice work! |
Small Wings Flying 7/15/12 . chapter 4I don't like your punctuation in this chapter because it's, frankly, all over the place. Some of it's nonsensical, ie. ["Calla Halmore." She says.] - should be a comma and lower case "she". Others just make the dramatic feel fall a little flat. I also don't like the reunion with Sadia because it came out too hastily. There's no emotion in it; no haste, sudden bout of relief, no panic...came out somewhat emptily. I love when Sadia shouted at Sarah to stop running though. Skidding to a halt.

Small Wings Flying 7/15/12 . chapter 3I like the first paragraph this time round because it shows a real emotive feel. Those quick unanswerable questions give a good feel to how Sarah feels, a good impression to how time had passed. I don't like Sarah's reaction to Sadia's death because I feel like it was simply too hasty and thus unrealistic. Not much emotion; even the "oh no..." doesn't give an emotive feel to it. |
Small Wings Flying 7/15/12 . chapter 2I don't really like the way you've worded that first sentence: [I go through a series of waking up and getting knocked out again.] - It almost sounds like something as mundane as the laundry cycling through its phrases or the PCR machine if you do biology (and that really irritating song). So yeah, it only stands out to the extent of being annoying; not the best way to start when you're trying to grab attention. I also don't like your speaker tags - you've attempted to bring emotion and drama into it, but the way you've structured them is sort of making the effect fall flat. For example, ["Listen, Sarah" she begins before I interrupt her.] - all you had to do about the interruption was add a dash after Sarah. That shows the interruption better than /telling/ it. |
Small Wings Flying 7/15/12 . chapter 1I like the shortness of this because it works well with the dramatic suspense of fleeing from pursuit. I don't however like that first paragraph's structure because it detaches a little from the suspense. If she's running fast, she wouldn't be paying attention to the blood dripping - dripping is a slow motion. [Feet crunching on the leaves, are they my feet? ] - not really place for a comma. [Let's hope the first.] - loses effect by speaking out to audience. Minor things that all add up. Ohana from the Review Marathon (link in profile) |
Navaura 7/14/12 . chapter 1hello, nice job writing. |
Free Fire 7/14/12 . chapter 4Wow, very nice story! It is very suspenseful and kept me on my toes. Your descriptions and word choice are very good. You are a very talented writer, and I hope to read more of your work! Oh, and yes, I was very surprised (and very happy!) that Calla was still alive. I love how Calla is the heroine of the story rather than Sarah, as I had expected Sarah to be the one to save the day. Great work! :D |
Words4Life 7/14/12 . chapter 4This was such a good story! I couldn't stop reading. It was short & sweet, just to my liking. The suspense was amazingly written. You should write another chapter about what happens to the man who kidnaps these children. Keep writing! |
Guest 7/10/12 . chapter 3 I like it. I have read some of your fanfiction stories. |
PoisonedMind 7/4/12 . chapter 3Oh, I like this, I like this a lot. Poor Sadia, I was liking her! D: Drat. |
