Any additional comments?

Don't even bother with this one. Terrible. Weird. You can see the "twist" ending coming from a mile away. Awkward prose, unrealistic characters- a smooth talking cool criminal junkie who's totally in control? Who wears a black trench coat and expensive boots? Who wields a meticulously described shotgun? This may have been written by a 12 year old boy.

not so good

cliche-ridden and hokey. Goofy tales that weren't that interesting to read. can I get a refund for my time?
