Red_A Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 This is a unusual story, you have to admire the author, it may not be smooth, but the story is fascinating. Link to comment
Nephylim Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 How very interesting. I absolutely loved the end Link to comment
Site Administrator Cia Posted September 13, 2010 Site Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hmmm... I tried to read the story but the lack of pause in the punctuation kept rushing me as I read. I did like the characters, the description of Angelo insisting he be locked up in a cell because he might murder someone made me chuckle. Your overall style in writing is very formal, even the speech of the characters held a cadence that I wasn't used to which made the story seem stilted to me. I've not run across your writings here on GA before so I'm not sure if you are a native English speaker or not but I know as an American I am used to a much more relaxed style of speech. You brought the characters to life for me but I just didn't get into the story as well as I might have had it been less formal. Link to comment

phana14 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 This was *cute*. I mean in a really sexy comedy type way. I enjoyed the dickens out of this story. Just possibly because it was a story being told WITHIN a story that MADE the story. An excellent production here, Jan! Thank you. Link to comment
robinhood Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 *great story, really enjoyed myself and as i do visit BXL a few times a year, mainly to buy books, a few of the places were familiar to me. it's always nice to read a story that takes place in a city you know. i do now speak quite a bit of french but with a very bad accent and i can read it very well but i haven't managed to learn how to write it yet, so i do so admire your ability to have written this story so well in english. 1 Link to comment
Kev de Cauchery Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hmm. I had the same feeling as Cia. The story kind of rushes itself in a way that I read faster and faster. A bit of an odd but interesting story. I'll say I'd like it better with a narration kind of storytelling rather than conversation. But then I'm one who's crazy about conversation, so... Nice read, in a comic kind of way. Link to comment
Toast Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I found a lot of humor in this. I liked the narrator. It kind of reminded me of "Tales of the City". Your style of writing interested me more than distracted me. I felt I was encountering a new experience. Thanks for your story. Link to comment
