A review of the story submitted by Grazia Rita (FutureLearn)

This post has one objective - to give Grazia Rita her review of her work (FutureLearn) so below is a copy/paste of the details that I saved from the review I did (but it somehow got 'lost').

Copy/paste starts here (sorry about odd layout and tiny fonts but that was how it ended-up):


How was the central character portrayed and was this portrayal clear and interesting? The central character was very interestingly portrayed. The descriptions and situation was very clear. This is one of the best pieces of writing I have seen so far & I have reviewed about seven I think (so Far). Well done.

What made you think this piece was a story and did you want to read on? How could one not think that this was a story? It had all the necessary ingredients:

It flowed naturally - it had a start, middle and 'twisty' end. Yes of course I wanted to read on and did.

What were the most, and least, successful aspects of the writing?

Most successful aspect(s):

The very natural flow of the story - very easy to read whilst still being interesting if simple in its approach. A bit of mystery gently portrayed.

Least:

Humm - that's a tough one really ... let's think... I suppose, as a male reviewer I might feel slightly guilty for what I am about to say - but the descriptions of the man (interviewer etc.) were a bit 'girly' which I hope that you know what I mean by that.

(Note: my wife and I love your home country - Italy - we visit as often as we can - and I think its one of the great Italian characteristics that people speak and react openly and naturally on the whole - love that - so don't be hurt by the 'girly' comment!)

Copy/paste ends.
Don't worry about the attribution (the name) shown on my blog - I think that you'll guess what's going on with it.
