(the prequel and chapters one and two)

Certainly, a very individual style is established right from the off. The prequel (should it be 'prologue?') having a TV interview with the noel's characters is a bold move, quite avant garde and reminded me of the premise for Muriel Spark's first novel. I'm not sure how that fits into the novel as a whole, or whether it was put there for authonomy readers only.

As we get into the story, the main characters are drawn vividly through their dialogue above all. The vernacular is extremely well rendered and adds shape to the characters speaking it. It also leaves us in no doubt this is an adult novel.

The story moves along at a fast pace. Though I did wonder whether this was too fast atsome stages as I was occasionally unsure of what was going on.

This strikes me as something very different to my normal read but I've enjoyed spending time with it nevertheless.

All the best with it,

Why are you letting this fine piece of writing languish at the bottom of the pile?

This is an interesting story. It’s also both gritty and violent but that’s good because that fits the type of characters and what is happening here. It’s an inside glimpse into the heads of criminals and drug dealers. Makes it a good read. I’m adding this to my shelf. Burgio (Grain of Salt) .

I love the real, gritty feel to this, it's an in-your-face kind of writing that makes it so interesting! You've got perfect characters to fit the writing and I'm dying to know more about them, to see how their story unfolds. This is completely unique from anything I've read on here, the story, the voice, the style. It all works together to create something, well, awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Reg: perhaps it's me but I am not feeling either of these pitches. I am just not a big fan of using dialogue or exposition from the novel for the pitches. You have to think of the pitches as your sales tools and you have to position the deal to close it with your casual reader, the key to your success. Perfecting your pitches is how you climb in ranking to gather more exposure and comments to better your novel. The writing is good so I am SHELVING you.

Though I have been a very active member for over a year, I can still use your comments on my book when you get the chance. Every little bit helps. Cheers!

Dear Reginald, Okay, I have finished your 3 books/commenting/will back this book, too. (May God censor it - I on purpose didn't put bad words in my memoirs that my husbands called me, because I'm representing Jesus & my grandkids will be reading them - I must be that light shining in the darkness, wanting good choices instead of bad choices for them - Eph. 4 & 5.) Would you please put a comment on each of my 2 books because that is what makes them move up on the charts - Jesus told me that my memoir is the gospel read round the world - a missionary in my old/sick age. :) Thanks. :) Love, Susie :)
