A-----mazing
Sandra Oh is awesome in this but please note you must give it a fair chance watch 2 or 3 episodes before you judge it.

Big fan of hers since greys anatomy also love crime shows and true crime stores.

For a short story this one really packed a punch. It had angst, humor, love, and was kinda hot. I plan to read more by Jade Winters after getting a taste test with this quick but very well developed read. Not easy to put that many complexities in 10,000 words. Kudos!

I loved all of the mechanics, the art, the world, and the characters of this game. It's really fun. My only complaint is that the story is short and a little choppy, but the dialogue writing is really good. I hope that the post-game content continues to be interesting.

"It’s always the beautiful simplicity of this story that transports me. Not a word is wasted. For such a short novel, it kind of approaches perfection in storytelling for me. Hemingway apparently said of the novel that it was the “best I can write ever for all of my life.”"

A well written story line with the right amount of everything. This is a short story but the author packs the pages full. You are never disappointed with this author, amazing read every time. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

Fantastic performances across the board and a story that doesn't sugarcoat the early career of Elton John (0 more)
It takes a small while to get used to the weirdness of it all. (0 more)
Succeeds where Bohemian Rhapsody kinda felt short with, this is a fantastic, no holds bar film that perfectly depicts the story of Elton John's early career and his many struggles. The use of John's songs is expertly used to help progress the story and those sequences help make this a feast for the eyes. Taron Egerton shines as Elton.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story once I'd gotten closer to the end. To begin with, I found this a little clunky to read, things didn't seem to flow so well but once Jakob appeared in the story things started to become a little clearer and things got a little more mysterious.

It's a pretty easy story to predict but its gorgeously creepy and, in the end, very well presented.

I'm loving short stories at the moment, they often bring me a lot more joy than the full-length books I read.

For those of you who enjoyed my recent review of Annie Proulx’s short story collection that includes the story “Brokeback Mountain,” you might also be interested in seeing my older review of her National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winning novel “The Shipping News.” In that review here, you can read why I thought this book not only deserved that prize, but also why I believe she truly earned the Library of Congress 2018 award for American Literature. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/08/09/get-roped-into-this-story/

I love Korean culture, so I decided to read this book when I saw it was available on Amazon Prime.

We’re never told of the narrator’s name, only that she is a sixth grader. More importance is put on the sons of the family. Our narrator’s family is poor. In order to help with the money problem, our narrator makes a shocking choice.

This is a very short story, but it is written very well. I felt like I was in the story. It is a sad story though.
