Rated: E | (5.0)

Hello,

When I say I liked this story, it's not enough to say. A rat . . . Yeah, it's the best story I have read on Writing.Com for a long time. It has an element of comedy, but subtle. It's well written, easy to follow, and original. I felt like I was right there listening to the rat family. Well written. I did not look for errors of any type, the story was what I consentrated on.

Review of Feeling Gassy  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hello,
I encountered your story while looking through the Biographical genre. I enjoyed reading . . . Overall, it's well written and tells the events with a good flow. I did notice one phrase that needs some restructuring.

(Just for a few weeks when I was in high school, then lengthening to a few months when I was in college.)

Here, you need to change the structure a little bit, as it's not a complete sentence.

Say something such as: (I worked there for a few weeks when I was in high school, then for a few months when I was in college.)


Also, a comma would be good when added after (but) in this sentence: I spent time there not only when it was my uncle's home but also his office.)

Great story!

Review of Grandma's Spoon  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (5.0)

Hello,

I came across this well written story on the genealogy page. I saw no errors in grammar or punctuation, or no other things a story should not have. The story makes me wonder where (Grandma) got her spoon. It is presented in a fine manner and the word flow is just right. Good story.

Review of Cashiered!  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (5.0)


Hello, jackson here.

I found your story on the Read and Review page. It's a pretty good story. I saw no errors in spelling or grammar. In fact, no errors of any type. It's a very amusing story, seems Jason got his comeuppance! It's believable. I like the older woman with a good sense of humor. Well written and to the point.

Review of Cosmic fate

Hello,
I'm jackson. I saw your work on the Read and Review page. It's the type of poetry I enjoy. It has some powerful words within it. The sentence which moves me the most is: Reflecting in my pupils in broken pieces. Overall, it's well put together and has a distinctive flow. Well done.

Review of HOMECOMING.  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is beautiful. Man on a dirt road walking along with a full heart. His smile tells me his memories are rich. The imagery of the mountains, the cold water from the spring, and especially the moment when he quenches his thirst like a vase embracing roses . . . Wonderful.

Hello,

I just opened this on Read and Review. There is not much I can say about this, you have already said all that needs to be said. Short and sweet. There are no errors in grammar, no uncomfortable word flow . . . It's a five. Good writing.

Hello,
I came across this on the Read and Review page. Your thoughts are put together well, and wherever your steps lead you, you seem to step with firmness and deliberation. You walk well, the path may become more narrow from time to time, but you can squeeze through. Keep on walking.

Hello,

You've got something here. I am not an expert reviewer, and anything I recommend may or may not be useful.

The only things I would change are: I would capitalize (i) every time it is used to refer to yourself, and I would capitalize every first letter of each sentence. other than that, like I said, you've got something here. It's well put together, flows at just the right speed and tells a good story.

Hello,
I found this the other day on Read and Review, I came across it again today. The feelings it evolked in me were the same both times I read it. A tightness in my heart. . . It's very well put together, and grabs the reader tightly until the last word.

Review of A LONG WAY HOME  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hello,
I came across this item on Read and Review. It has a good rhythm and sounds good in your mind as you read it. The part I like best is: Lord, only you can save me. Kindly do hold my hand. My steps are weak and falter. I am lost in the sand.

Good work.

Very beautiful, touching, sweet, and pulled out from the heart. This came up on Read and Review when I was just looking. I like the line: My prayers rise out of winters sorrow ascend into the garden of paradise. Lovely. The flow was just right, no errors stood out, and overall the work is filled with emotion.

Review of Mower Wins by TKO

Hey,

I've been in a couple of fights with lawnmowers myself. Those darn things can be contrary. Your story is pretty funny, I saw no confusing lines or errors in grammar. I liked the part of how the black eye came about most. Anyway, my reviews are mostly based on story content and execution. Good work.

This is a very interesting story. It's well written and easy to follow. Firsthand, I know how difficult it can be to find information on one's ancestors. I hope you find what you are searching for.

Hello,
I was looking at the Hub, and your story caught my eye. I should say, the title caught my eye. You've created a moving and realistic story here. It's the type of story where you can see the characters as you read their words. I think a comma should be placed in this sentence, We ran as fast as we could terrified by the continuous explosions all around us. (comma after could) But it reads well without the comma also. Great work

Review of House Fly  
Review by jackson
Rated: E | (5.0)
Prosperous Snow,

One of my worst enemies is the housefly. How did you do that? I mean, you described the housefly so elegantly in just a few words.

I could see that fly and hear its buzz as it sat there on the lip of the cup. There are no errors or any type of problems in this work. I especially liked your short description referring to the flyswatter.

Keep those words flowing. . .

Hi Snow,

I really like this story. It moves right along and keeps you wondering. Well written, grammar excellent, no mistakes that stand out. I kept wondering what was going to happen next. The appearance of the stake and mallet was a complete surprise. Great.

Hello WebWitch,
I really enjoyed this story. It has all the sights and sounds of the 1930's. The detective is cut out of fine cloth, reminds me a few famous fictional detectives. Great work.
The dialog is done so well. When you listen to Lou's speech, you know he is tough, but beneath that toughness lies compassion.
I found myself wishing it was longer as I read. I noticed some other fine works in your portfolio, I'll be back.

A beautiful piece of writing. The river is described very well. The words flow just like the river, swiftly in places and calmly in other places. Well done.

Pretty good. Reminds me of the old western writers. It would be interesting to see this as a longer short story. Well written, easy to follow, puts you right at the scene.
