Hello Donkey Hoetay,
I am writing this review today because of Queen of Comedy Challenge. These are just my opinions. If you don’t agree with them, that’s your opinion. And it wrong.
Now for the good stuff: The Review.
Overall Impression: I just finished reading your Monologue Comedy blog, A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING:, and I liked it very, very much. It kept me interested in wanting to read it from beginning to end. Once I started reading it I couldn’t stop until I finished it. What I liked the best about this story is the paragraphs involving the grandmother and the pigs. It was a very clever way to include it into this story. I also liked what the wolf would do to get to his true love. No matter what his peers thought or reacted to how he did it. You need to do more stories like this one. At least that’s what I think.
The Story Itself: This is a story about a wolf, a real wolf, who is in love with a sheep, also a real sheep, named Sheila. But since he is a wolf he can’t just go up to her and ask her out on a date or confess his love for her. He has to be a little bit more discrete about it. His solution is to become a sheep too. That way he can get close to Sheila without freaking her out or the sheepdog seeing his true self. The only problem is the sheep dog. He’s not a threat personally. But he is also interested in Sheila. That really isn’t a big problem either. After all, he is a wolf.
Where Your Location Is: The location for this story takes place in the field where the sheep, the sheepdog and of course the wolf is at. You didn’t really describe this location. But with a location like this one, a description really isn’t needed. Personally, I try to have at least one solid location in all my stories. It all depends on what my Word Count limitations are as to how much detail I put into them. Sometimes it’s just the location itself. Sort of like this one. But usually, it’s a little bit, if not a lot, more than that.
Your Main Character: Lu, short for Louie aka the wolf, is the main character in this story. But he’s not the only one. There are several others. And all of them have names. I like that you gave them all names. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name. But that’s just the way that I like to write my stories.
How They Spoke to Me: Officially, there wasn’t any dialogue in this story. But since this is categorized as a monologue and a blog I consider this all dialogue. A lot of reviewers, maybe even most or all, wouldn’t consider this dialogue. It’s like thoughts too. They don’t consider that dialogue either. But I disagree with that too. To me, it doesn’t have to be bracketed by quotation marks to be dialogue.
Any Last Thoughts: I think you did a very good job with this story. Especially when it came to comedy. It was very funny. At least that’s why I think. I am curious about one thing though. You classified this as a blog. Is it really blog entry or did you just write that as part of this story?
I’m going to be very honest with you. The only reason I am reviewing you today is because this is part of the Queen of Comedy Challenge. Normally, I would be reviewing your blog. But that isn’t part of this challenge. There are two reasons why I wanted to review your blog. One of them is I have decided to review blogs this year whenever I can. If you have a blog them, I'm going to review it.
The other reason why I’m doing your blog is because I have started a couple of blogs myself. 'The Truth About the Universe'
"The Truth About the Universe"
is here in my PureSciFi account. And 'What I Like to Write, What I Don't Like'
"What I Like to Write, What I Don't Like"
can be found in my PureSciFiPlus account. You can check them out if you want to.
I liked your Monologue blog very, very much. Keep on writing.
