The lady who is in charge of the writer's group asked me if I would be interested in reading one of the member's novels and critiquing. I said sure why not? She sent it to me, but I had trouble getting it to open, however, finally it seems good to go. The first few paragraphs seem very well written. I can't remember what kind of novel this is supposed to be, Maybe one of those about a dystopian universe, or something involving cowboys..Whatever, she put a lot of work into this.

I was quite impressed with the opening paragraphs, if the rest of the book is that good I will be happy, and she will get good feedback from me.

Enjoy reading the book. Writing book reviews are fun. Honest critique can be tricky though.

I am not going to write a review. I will just make comments. The book keeps closing down for some reason and now it is moved to the cloud. I hope I don't keep having these issues with it. I will never get it read.

Just because honest.
If it's crap, say it's good.

I don't think it will be crap. She put an impressive amount of adjectives in the first few paragraphs, although that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Well Mark Twain had some good advice.
Too many adjectives close together weaken it, they give strength when they are far apart.
I hope it does not continue on that vein

I hope you enjoy the book. I've written hundreds of reviews. It's too bad the sites that I used to review for are gone.

I just hope it opens again. I had some kind of PDF shift that downoladed itself onto my puter. I got rid of that though. It was causing problems.
