The review you *did* write was very... er... diplomatic! Hopefully 
the real OoP will be slightly better than this - although I agree 
that the writer of this story is probably quite young, and the story 
*does* have potential. I wasn't a very good writer when I was little 
either... but I'm *such* a good writer now! ;)

By the way, having seen your FF.Net profile, I especially liked the 
part where he compliments you on your Beatles haircut!

It continues to amaze me that some people can have such bad 
grammar. 

I get frustrated at people who can't understand the difference 
between you're and your, and when to use each appropriately (sp?). 
And the their/there/they're difference. And the whole apostrophe for 
ownership/plural deal. I seem to be seeing "CD's Sale" wherever I go. 
I didn't know that a compact disc could *have* a sale!
