It is one of my favourite stories, period. As the review says, not for the faint of heart but an enthralling, wonderful piece of writing which took me through a whole gamut of emotions.

You know it's good when, months later, passages and scenes keep surfacing in my head. Unforgettable!

Adi, I cannot thank you enough for your kind and generous word in review for A to Z. And Northie is right...the characters still live in my head, even now.

Yes, I agree! If you haven't read A to Z just do it. And don't let the hard times drag you under. Hang in there. It's worth it!

Great review of a fantastic story, Adi. Parker's a talented writer and I'll cheat here and let you know his next story promises to be just as awesome. The man deserves a big Cuban cigar to celebrate his success as an author.

Congratulations on the feature, Parker. And thanks to Adi and Renee for doing this

Parker is the MAN. Also this is one of my all time favorite stories. It's an amazing roller coaster ride of dark and depressing meets sweet and whimsical. Parker has enough talent as a writer to pull it off and believe me you'll be rewarded if you endure some of the harder chapters, as the main character is the kind of guy you can definitely root for.

I'll also second Carlos's remarks that Parker's next story (from the little bit I've seen) proves to be just as enthralling.

Anyway, if you haven't read A to Z yet, check it out.

Parker is a good friend and a great writer. This story touched on things from own life I cannot seem to escape, but it was a lovely story. As an ex-street kid, there are things in A to Z that don't feel right to me, but it is fiction, well written, and worth reading. It's also a love story, a romance yes, but it's about friendship and trust as well. If you haven't read it, do. It is worth your time.

Adi, I cannot thank you enough for your kind and generous word in review for A to Z. And Northie is right...the characters still live in my head, even now.

Parker you made this easy for me. It's such a great story.

Congrats, Parker, on A to Z being featured!

Addy, you wrote a wonderful review. I think Tim has some competition now!

I will admit, when I first read the story tags I wasn't going to read it. I was still reading one of craftingmom's stories, and I didn't want to start another story about a poor kid getting abused.

Val was the one who changed my mind. She told me what a wonderful story it was, and that I wouldn't regret reading it. She was right!

A to Z is a terrific story filled with some wonderful characters, and unfortunately, some downright horrible characters, who take Stefan through many changes in his young life.

But don't forget -- it's a story about love, and the love shines through with Parker's skillful writing.

So, thank you, Parker, for writing such an awesome story, and thank you, Val, for "making" me read it!

I started this story later one evening and had a very deep emotional response. One long nightmare later, I wrote a poem about something I never thought I would let into the light of day. That is the power of Parker's writing. It started a sort of catharsis for me, and I fully intend to complete what I started, and finish this well-written endeavor. I thank Parker for the trigger he inadvertently provided me...

In A to Z, I experienced the full gamut of emotions. From utter despair at Andy's plight, to deep seated anger at his abusers. But I also smiled and cried in joy when things began going Andy's way; finding friends, a family, a home, and love.

A to Z is not only one of my favorite GA stories, it's also one of my favorites overall. Parker is an incredible writer and I shall always be thankful that he shared this story with us.

Congrats, Parker, on A to Z being featured!

 

Addy, you wrote a wonderful review. I think Tim has some competition now!

Indeed I do, and I'm happy about it. So nice to have other blog reviewers on the team.

A to Z is a great story and deserves every word of praise.

Congrats on the feature Parker.. Adi did a great review.. 

A to Z is emotionally jarring, thought provoking, very well written and is one of my favorite stories on here.. So worth the read! 

Congratulations Parker, and well deserved.

A to Z was not only good, not only well written, not only had outstanding characters, but was unique. Quite the combination of assets IMHO.

Great review, adi!!!

I loved this story and I've had the great pleasure of working with parker as both his editor, and him as my beta/editor. He has wonderful insights and a vivid imagination! Congrats on the feature, parker! And thanks aditus for such a great write up! You summed it up very nicely.

Congratulations Parker on the featuring of your story. And it was a great review Adi.

I am sorry to say I haven't read it. But its in my next to read list.

One of the best features here is ... this way of making good stories more known.

Would not have  found it on my own.

Just started reading and... it captured me... Ahh. hmm now I have probably  no sleep tonight because... CSR...

OMG is this why I start having wrinkles... much more recently ... because of this or CSR ...

thanks love reading stories here...
