Love how you managed to slip George Orwell into there.
Slightly frightening, but I had an art teacher called Christina Lovecek.
She was the most sour person I've ever met.
Love your username. Who Tortoise?

Words cannot explain the impact this has had on me.
If you haven't officially published this, I request that you do.

XD Reading this in 2013...eventually reality catches up to fiction...

Funny prologue, really catchy (especially the immediacy of the dates and exaggerated history of the story world).

THIS IS ONE TERRIFYING PROLOGUE. hahahaha it is though

This story's like amateur Orwell on mass amounts of anti-depressants.

1984 inspires us all. I love big brother.

Haha, I love this story sad to think that the world mogh actually turn out like this/

OMFG.

I READ THE LAST FEW LINES LITERALLY SLACK JAWED.

Kinda happy that Sara escaped but OMG. I WAS EXPECTING A LOT OF THINGS BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.

PLEASE say it's not a coincedence that one of the character's name is Andrea Levy? She is one of my FAVOURITE authors.

Haha. Trying to get through revision by learning some of my revision cards and then coming here to read a chapter .. Already looks interesting! I've always wanted to write something about the potential oppressiveness of religion but am not very good at writing in the future, however close or distant, so this should be interesting!

I must say I enjoyed the ending. Very satisfactory. Though, I did wish to see a bit more of the Shepherd throughout, but overall the story was great (even if i did feel annoyed about feeling annoyed most of the time with them incorrigible trainers). Also, I sort of feel that the ending was rushed in a sense. Maybe I'm just being greedy for more after-program experiences. Whatever, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of work. *smiles*

That sounds like a horrid country. I would be sent to an NSD camp? They'd have to catch me first! I'd take my lesbian ass over to another country. ESCAPE TO FREEDOM! XD

Oh my God. Get this published- it's better than Orwell! Sure as hell I'll be buying a copy :( (PS: the smiley to the left of this is actually happy, but in deference to Sara I've stuck it upside down. Unhappiness Prevails!)

Please write more!

I. freaking. love this. I'm just curious now as to how Sara became this way? Wouldn't a person who grew up in such a society be I don't know...indoctrinated? This is exciting. So exciting. Oh, I loved her attempts a note, btw. "YOU ALL SUCK." That would probably be my note too.

I LOVE THIS STORY. :D
