Reader's Comments:
"Just wow, the time and effort that went into this, just wow. The story was a bit far fetched but very refreshing to think someone with that sort of disability could be in that sort of position. I enjoyed reading this from start to finish. I was even trying to guess the quotes, I am a bit sad like that lol. Great piece of writing thank you." (Ha)
"I possess no wisdom of my own, but do recognize and try to live by the wisdom of others. I now recognize a new benefactor; kudos on an excellent sequel. You have my deepest respect sir." (rus)
"A superb story that held me captivated throughout. Tenderness, intrigue. love, adversity. All covered with subtle ease. I was concerned there was a non-erotic side to this story when I read the tags, but who the hell cares when a story is this good. Lots of quotes and I'm glad for the annotations and explanations at the end. I recognised some but not others. Wow!" (nj)
"I've read trough this twice, and glad I did. The first time I got a tad confused in the first scene in the hospital, trying to keep track of who was talking when. The second time, everything fell right into place. I can find nothing wrong here. It's powerful. Dramatic. Touching. I love all the characters. The story flows and develops beautifully. I like that the daughter has some of the best lines. The only thing I want to know now is, what happens next to Sara. But that's another story. The writing is outstanding. I didn't find any grammar errors, or even typos. An outstanding story." (rc)
"Wow. Who writes this kind of quallity for free? You should publish. Awesome." (fl)
"This is a truly great story and is so well written. When I look at character development, there is nothing lacking. Specific to the story I would have to say that what I am most impressed about it is the fact the author took 25 quotes from famous and infamous people and created a language from them. Glee was able to through his autism take these quotes and communicate with people in a way that they could understand him and thrilled in the way that he was able to present his points succinctly and with humor. Very well done!" (gg)
"I really am quite impressed by this one. This is what talent, practice, inspiration, and diligence can produce on a page." (mc)
"Okay, whoever wrote this story purposely has tried to ruin my day by turning me into mush. Objective achieved. I suspect a woman wrote this. Really incredible." (br)
"A cleverly assembled story that must have taken quite some time to put together. The quotes, and the way they are positioned, are so relevant to the present day and roll the story along to its climax. The quality is superb." (Mer)
"This is an absolute A-game story. When a story can bring me to tears, it is a good story, when it can do it multiple times, it is a fabulous story. The flow of the story was perfect, it did not alter, it did not bore. I was carried through the story at a brisk, but enjoyable pace and not once did I have to halt to re-read or re-visit any part of the story." (th)
"I work as a caregiver in a shared-living facility for persons with disabilities, many of whom are on the Autism Spectrum. To choose a man with Autism as the protagonist for your story was both brilliant, and incredibly heart-warming. Well done, whoever you are, well done indeed!" (siasl)
