I am thankful that the author gives commentary at the end about why the changes were made. Ender's Game: I love Ender's Game because of its intensity and the idea of how much pressure children can endure if forced to. Of course, the kicker at the end is when Ender is told that the game is real and that he has destroyed a real homeworld. Mikal's Songbird: I wasn't sure how this was going to end. A delightful premise. Prentice Alvin and the No-Good Plow: I do often enjoy poetry, but this poem I did. Although the author wasn't sure about the ending, I thought it was fine. Let the imagination wander. Malpractice: Do not let anyone who is paranoid and gets surgery read this story. It will be the end of them. Follower: Hitching: Damn Fine Novel: That's right, your goal is to write the best novel so that you never have to write another novel. But don't you love to write? Billy's Box: The Best Family Home Evening Ever: I liked this family lesson. I wished I yelled a lot less as well. I'm glad I own this story so I can listen to it again. Bicicleta: I Think Mom and Dad Are Going Crazy: I use the same technique the parents to explain why I use Uber instead of having a car. You add up car payments, insurance, gas, maintenance, and repairs as total expenditures for a year, divide it by twelve to get the true monthly cost for owning a car. I don't work, so I don't need a ride every day. I tell them how much Uber costs and how many I use a month. I ask them if that would be less than what it would cost to own a car. After going through all that they don't ask me again. Jerry: Gert Fram: This was a touching story. I was surprised the girl was teenage, but it doesn't matter. I loved the ending. Keep writing Gert Fram. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
