"A damm good story. You really made the relationship dynamic between charlie and tracy belivable" -- brotherman.
"I likded this too but was nearly turned off because of the first sentence when you wrote he thought to himself! Whoelse was he thinking to? But i settled down and actually found this a believable and well written story. You took time to develop your characters using the events and situations around them instead of pouring useless information about them into the reader's mind. My concept of Charlie will be different from someone else's and that is good!" -- e. rocco caldwell.
