Cara chapter 1 . 4/13/2012 This makes me think of the song that has the line, "deep in 3043 the refugees survive." it's that song off of Titan A.E. And I am pretty sure it's called It's My Turn To Fly. :)good song. |
Naomi Chick chapter 11 . 4/13/2012 I really enjoy the story. Liam is a very intriguing character with his point of view make him a different person. The way his word is clearly describe without emotions is astounding. I like the way he takes the case of his mother like an everyday job. Great chapter. |
Melody Niwa chapter 11 . 4/12/2012 I'm still really loving this story. I love how the narration is written, especially from Liam's point of view. The Purge eliminates his emotions, so you wrote his narrations in a very neutral and literal manner, but you still managed to keep the voice interesting. I would think that's difficult to do, so good job on that! I almost want this to be made into a movie. I don't know if I said that in my last review. Or even if I made a review before this one. I think I did. But anyway. Keep up the great work! And if you ever have time, would you take a glance at my story? |
SweetlilSunshine chapter 11 . 4/12/2012 Interesting, how will she react to her son being at the investigation? |
EvilSoul chapter 11 . 4/12/2012 Nice chapter. I'm interested in what will Liam's mother do when she sees him. |
SweetlilSunshine chapter 10 . 4/9/2012 Is it me or is Dr. Cato kind of kickass? |
Melody Niwa chapter 10 . 4/8/2012 Loving this story so much right now. I can't even. I just want to keep reading and find out more~! |
LibertyLife chapter 4 . 4/6/2012 This is a really cool concept and written very well. The world you created is believable and I like the contrast between Charlette and Liam. So far, so good. Reading on... |
Breathewithme chapter 10 . 4/6/2012 WOW! This is really clever! Perfect characters and a wonderful subject consisting over philosophical, ideological subject matter that is reflected in the totalitarian world! I can't wait for the next update - this story reminds me of Equilibrium - a good film I'd watch it! |
Victoria Best chapter 1 . 4/6/2012 Wow. Just wow. This is absolutely amazing! It's only the first chapter, but already my head is spinning with so many questions. I can already see how this piece will be incredibly philosophical, and the genre, as well as being a form of dystopia, almost borders the genre of psychological horror. This is something I would definitely read! This story already poses some important questions about humanity and morality. Firstly, why would the government release the Purge on its own people? Why do they want everyone to feel no emotions? Perhaps it's all about trying to chase some dream of perfection, for example if they believe that emotions make people weak. It could be for entirely selfish reasons, for example only doing it because it makes people easier to control. It's brilliant how you intertwine all of these messages and questions within the story, which draws in readers right from the first chapter, and makes this story clever and original, and makes the readers think rather than just passively read. You let go of just the right amount of information, for example when you decribe the withdrawl symptoms of the purge, to show that instead of trying to escape the gas, people actually become addicted to it. Maybe this could always be your warning of what could happen to the world if we continue living in this selfish and callous way. The plot is just genius. I will definitely keep reading to find out more! I also love your characters. Although so far we have only been introduces to Charlotte, she is a very strong character, and I really admire her for trying to go against the law to save her own humanity. However, I would say that you complain a little too much about the purge, and after several paragraphs, it gets a little tedious, because we already understand the concept and the reason for the gas, so you do not need to continue explaining. Keep everything brief and precise and release information steadily, rather than repeating the information we have already been told. Otherwise, I really like this story and I will definitely read more soon! Keep writing and following your dreams! -Vicky x |
SweetlilSunshine chapter 9 . 4/4/2012 wow this was intense and sparked alot of questions, such as: Is Noah really dead? or How did they know about the delivery? |
Naomi Chick chapter 9 . 4/3/2012 I love the epic, thrilling with the main character mission diverted as she desperately seek out a plan. The surprising twist with Charlotte finding the dead body of Noah. I definitely hadn't expected everything to become bad. I can't wait to see what happen in the next chapter. |
post-it123 chapter 1 . 4/3/2012 "You tend to stick out like a porcupine among badgers" Love that line. This sounds really good and amazingly detailed, you've created a whole alternative reality and this sounds like it will be a really good story (I've only read chapter 1 i'm a bit behind). I look forward to reading more. |
Naomi Chick chapter 2 . 4/1/2012 I never expected a society without emotions. Though, I love these type of stories with unusual plot. |
Kiri Komori chapter 8 . 4/1/2012 I must say, this is the best story I've seen in a long time. The characters are well made, and the dystopian atmosphere doesn't swallow up the whole premise of the story. I'm excited to see what you turn out next! |
