Review of {bitem:}

Hello,

I'm Bikerider and I am reviewing your item for "King's Landing updating I hope you find my comments helpful.


What I liked


Writing humor is difficult, especially when you consider that people's senses of humor differ as much as their finger prints do. But you have done a good job with this. Dr. Dimmit is an exasperating customer, but I saw the humor in his responses to the salesman.

I thought Howard did a good job no losing his cool with Dr. Dimmit. He has the patience of a saint. As a character, I liked him. He remained professional, but I was waiting for him to get in a few digs of his own. It surprised me when he didn't.


Suggestions


I saw no grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors in this story. But I did notice one thing you might want to consider.

As written, the following sentence sounds as though the customer is long with gray hair. Placing a comma after the word long will give him long hair instead of making him long. But I did like the way you dressed the character, he must have looked like an explosion at a haberdashery shop.

Howard straightened his red polyester tie with navy polka dots and walked toward the long gray-haired man with black mustache in a green plaid outfit.

Comments


The title of this story intrigued me and caught my attention because at present I have been in the market for a new car. I have gone to a few dealerships and looked at a few models. I find the salesmen to be somewhat less than truthful in their attempts to sell a car, so as I read I wondered how it would go if I acted like Dr. Dimmit the next time I talk to a salesman. Would he sell cheap just to get me off the lot? (If I do it, I'll be certain to let you know.)

You did a good job with the humor in this story, even if it did drive Howard crazy.

Keep writing.

Bikerider
