A good story with a 3 dimensional character and a very interesting concept. I enjoyed the writing and the way the events came together. The ending was a bit abrupt but still certainly a worthwhile read.

This was a great read. At first I was taken aback by the style of the writing but that's because I diddnt realize that it was written in the style of a diary of the main character. Once I figured that out I enjoyed it a great deal. Thank you for writing it.
