Comment: Sorry for the late rate, I recently came back from vacation. It was an enjoyable read. I can see you have a blog, you're definitely used to writing texts. It was really good. ^_^ I loved reading about Ireland and Mount Sandel.I'm guessing it's expensive to visit. My London visit a couple of years ago, also broke my bank, so I would probably have to save up a bit. Thank you for the fun read.
Response: Thank you

Comment: Vivid writing, action vivid -- time line confusing, (Why do so many young writers, are you are, enjoy writing about ugly people and ugly actions--it can't be the only thing you can do well. (I hope)
Response: Thank you, June. I'll add this: I deliberately experimented with time sequence in this story. Could probably do with a re-write.
