Review of Questions

Review by Roger Elby

Rated: E

| (1.0)

Why not write a poem next time? If you don't understand life perhaps you haven't bothered to learn enough. You certainly have not learned how to write poetry. What do you understand? I'm curious to know. Do you understand, science, philosophy, literature, history, what?

Straightforward account of something. No depth. Willa cather it ain't.

What there is of this is OK, but it needs to be longer and to go somewhere.

Review of "The Audacity Of Hope"

Review by Roger Elby

Rated: 13+

| (2.5)

It's a bit confused in it's pattern and it's ideas. I see you are genuinely enthused by the success of a politician and I hope that you are not going to be disappointed. Personally I don't think Obama would have been elected if he looked like Yaphet Kotto. It is a sad thing that he has succeeded because he is good looking and light skinned. Of course he is light skinned because he is just as much white as he is black. I don't think it matters much what colour he is: the relevant characteristic is that he is a politician, a power seeker. I don't believe that any politician is going to favour me simply because we are the same colour.

Rated: E

Feeble allegory on the story of St Paul - the man who ruined Christianity by substituting his own control freak personality and ideas for what Jesus actually said.

Review of In my Father's House.

Review by Roger Elby

Rated: E

| (1.0)

A badly written and unbelievable piece of religious propaganda. P.S. the "Theory" of evolution isn't some shaky theory, it's a very well documented fact with a massive amount of proof behind it.

Review of Mr. Mervyn and Nimkii

for entry "Mr. Mervyn and Nimkii - Classes Start"

Review by Roger Elby

Rated: 18+

I think it's a great piece. I hope that it's part of a novel because there's no way to get it published otherwise.

Review of Selling out

Review by Roger Elby

Rated: 18+

Same old lowlife&drugs mediocrity. "Jake's diaphragm yanks his lungs down sharply", too much literal minded description. Why would we care about the mechanism, just describe how it feels.
