  A review of A Child Is Born
  by montana malone on 05/17/2013
  “A Child Is Born” was indeed quite a concise short story describing Alois’ past, present and future desires quite well. Yet, I did not feel compassion for either him or his wife. Perhaps it was the brevity of your tale? Regardless, it was extremely well written and I did not see the ending coming. You made me realize I never entertained the fact of Hitler having parents.

Perhaps it was the brevity of your tale? Regardless, it was extremely well written and I did not see the ending coming. You made me realize I never entertained the fact of Hitler having parents. Naïve on my part, I must confess. Thanks for the read and jogging my historical brain. Best, Montana read

  Amazing Story!
  A review of Thicker Than Water
  by montana malone on 05/17/2013
  Your first 2 pages vividly painted a clear and touching picture of Anna, Leo and their son, Jacob. They were both visual and deftly told what kind of family they were and the kind values that they shared. Beautifully written. By page 3, conflict via Officer Danny Flynn was introduced. Well done. I sit here wanting to know, “What happens next?” I loved your slow reveal of... Your first 2 pages vividly painted a clear and touching picture of Anna, Leo and their son, Jacob.

  By page 3, conflict via Officer Danny Flynn was introduced. Well done. I sit here wanting to know, “What happens next?”
  
  I loved your slow reveal of location and character descriptions. Your words imparted history rather than cramming it down ones throat. Thank you for that!
  
  I was on the edge of my seat when the alleged police whistle blew. Your words placed me on that street and allowed me even deeper into your world.
  
  What?! That was quite the twist on page 10. OMG! You got me big time. I did not see that coming at all…
  
  I feared for Jacob’s life and you offered yet another great twist with the Lou Gehrig baseball.
  
  How you tied your beginning to the end was simply brilliant and excellent in every single aspect. Thank you for the honor of reading your work. Best, Montana. read

  Review: The Eyes Have It
  A review of The Eyes Have It
  by montana malone on 05/16/2013
  This was a well written short story. You managed to cover decades in a concise manner. The situations and events of Ryan’s eyes and his mothers’ concern were kept me reading and wishing the best for both of them. The events and doctors in Ryan’s life felt somewhat like a History Channel special on “Eyes.” Nothing wrong with that. I know more now than I did before. Ah, the...

  Ah, the vanity, arrogance and ignorance of mankind screamed at me when I reached your most unsuspected twist at the end of your tale. Thanks for sharing. Best, Montana read
