A different way of looking at the writing space. If it works for me, I might have to move it up to a five star.

I found it a little too fast paced. I’d have liked to really dive into each characters’ history a little more. I thought the idea was really interesting, but the story was too short to fully explore it, or build up any character arcs.

I never felt like I cared for the characters, yet the characters were really the only through line. There really wasn't a plot thread that I could follow start to finish, unless you include the romance element. I suppose it is a romance with a spy thriller skin.

I'd not even heard of some of the example books used, where as in other writing guides, I've never had that problem. Other than that, it was an informative and interesting read.

I came for the survival story and stayed for the will they, won't they romance. Interesting story, well told.

I enjoyed it as what appeared to be an honest look at the modern world, without thought for political correctness or social justice getting in the way.
