pointless
i don't like dealing with most people. i'm not a friendly person, i'm not easily liked and i happen to embrace my sadistic side. so, with all that in mind i'll start with an honest review.

the item number is 956700

this was written by a male who doesn't seem to have too high of an opinion for women. oh look! she makes very basic observations! oh look! she f***s someone! she is tainted! down the the whore! ahhh, isn't that sweet, she is going to do her wifely whorey duty and die with him. after all, that is all a female is worth, right?

beyond the low opinion of women, the story has been told and been told better. this is a really short version of romeo and juilet. shakespear isn't my thing, but i will agree that he could write. i read this and just feel sickened.

i gave the author a 3.5 for a marginal story. i said it was nifty. really nifty. i pointed out a misplaced comma. i was positive, because i read the guide line and knew i shouldn't say what i actually thought. apparently the author thought the 3.5 was a 5, only being penalized for bad proofing (i.e. the misplaced comma). he sent me an email asking if i would change it to a 5 with the comma removed. i said no. i wanted to say f*** off, but i didn't.

yes, writers are often times very bad at grammar. unless it makes the story or what have you unreadable, i look the other way. i offered the misplaced comma because i thought i was being helpful. i know i misuse semicolons, but i'm not offended when people tell me so. i ignore it. but i'm not offended.

i'm fairly sure this is all very pointless. i grade on a scale of all authors i've ever read and i read a lot. i don't think my shit is all that great, but i write anyways. really, what does it all matter? f*** if i know or care at this point.
