    Wow, this was good. It was funny too, in a dark way. Very nice. The mindreading was done very subtly. It can too easily be made cheesy, but you worked ...

    'Allo, 'allo, what have we here? I must say. Thirilight's rambling as he was dying were quite funny. I liked the little snippets of thought. A thought on that though, ...

    I actually didn't read this book until last year. It is my friend's favorite book and she kept pestering me to read it, while I invented excuse after excuse. I ...

    Ooh, a genre-savvy heroine. Those don't happen too often. I wasn't too clear on the reasoning behind why Gerry was the "true love". How exactly did that work out? I ...

    This piece... confused me. In the beginning dream, there is suddenly a man out of nowhere. Then there's weird faces in the mirror, then a revelation that isn't really a ...

    There is a Magic to nature that will never be explained by science. Any particular reason why "Magic" is capitalized. I don't really see a reason for it, as it ...

    This was interesting. I liked the beginning set up. The end seemed a little weird, considering how it sort of just cuts off after all that set up we read ...

    I must say, this was one of the funnier Twilight-bashing stories I've seen. Nate totally is a fangirl magnet. At least he exists. And he brought us YWS! Nate: 2 ...

    This was sweet. I liked it. My biggest critique would be on the mother: she comes across so much like a stereotypical witch. I mean, you have her cackling at ...
