Random 2007-09-17 ch 4, anon.	abuseHALLO? Is this story still being written? Cause it's really good, and it hasn't been updated in three years. Starting to get anxious, here!
Lise 2005-11-28 ch 12, anon.	abuseWell, that's cool story. It's sad that you stopped writing it. Maybe you won't see this review. oh well. It happens a lot. Some of the best I've read don't have that many reviews. I reviewed one that had been there for quite a while with only 3 or 4 reviews. And it was such a great story! After I wrote others did, so I hope it happens for your story as well. I'm new to the fandom of Smallville and I just discovered your story. That shows that even if its been posted for a while, people still read it. Hope you continue someday!
TheAnomally 2004-10-03 ch 12,	abuseIt's really great so far...I look forward to reading the conclusion.
hlmilk 2004-04-11 ch 12,	abuseWow, your story is absolutely detailed and in depth. You write each characters so well that I could easily imagined them saying or doing this and that. In fact, I have this feeling in my mind that you are one of the writers for Smallville. Extremely well done and I really like to know what will happened next to Lex. Okay, I also hoping for a Chlex scene or relationship coming out because I'm a Chlex fan, heh :P Anyway, keep writing and dont abandon this awesome story! :)
Polly 2004-04-11 ch 12,	abuseOoh, this is so good! Poor Chloe - you've made my heart really go out to the poor girl - no-one likes being the general office dog's body. You write her character beautifully - I liked her drive to be aloof and professional over the dashing Cormac - I hope things are finally going to start looking up for her. Lex's long-awaited departure! I could feel the anticipation building :-) It's good to see that Clark actually acknowledges his interference in other people's affairs once in a while. Your description of the Luthor mansion was both familiar and errie - you did a good job of making everything seem slightly cold and unnatural. I felt Clark's frustration, trying to tell Lex about his infection but having to withhold vital information! But then again, if I were Lex, I'd probably react the same way. Clark really should practise thinking some conversations through to their logical conclusions before he engages in them! Ah! The crash was so tense! What's my poor Lex going to do now? He's gone and murdered the pilot as well by the sounds of things. Let's hope either a doctor's note or a lot of Luthor-corp money can fix that one. Well, I hope you leave Lex in good enough condition to provide us with another chapter! I shall be keenly watching out for it :-)
autumngold 2004-04-10 ch 12, anon.	abuseThank you, thank you, thank you for updating your story!! Are Chloe and Lex going to meet again? I can't wait to find out!!
Polly 2003-05-30 ch 11,	abuseThank-you for this update, but now I'm on tenderhooks wanting more! I can feel Clark's frustration! Having to let LEx disappear off on his call of the wild trip, despite everything he suspects about what happened to Steadman. It was a very tense, involved scene. I love the realistic relationship you portray between Clark and Lex - it's good to be reminded of how Lex usually has the upper hand and how isn't accommodating to the point of bending over backwards for Clark (who's just a little too nosey for his own good, sometimes:-)) I also liked your portrayal of Steadman in the hospital - he really came across as a 'real' character, not steryotypical in any way. And what's going to happen now that our intrepid reporter is off the the expanse of Metropolis? Only time will tell, I guess. Oh, Lionel/Lex scene was another fav - nice to see a portrayal of Lionel that isn't totally hideous monster-like (though I have to admit to a fondness of them, too!) Now I am eagerly awaiting the result of Lex's strange trip... (and I know it's being written as I type, right?) :-)
RED5 2003-04-27 ch 10,	abuseI've only just got into Smallville fic and have just discovered your story (and read all 10 chapters in one go!). I'm impressed! The writing is excellent, the plot is one I could really see happening on scren and you've really nailed the characters. I'm intrigued as to where you're going and looking forward to more soon. Please keep writing!
Blaire023 2003-04-21 ch 10,	abusehm, so what is this that has gotten under Lex's skin, hehe, funny I am. I know. Interesting, although I'd like to see about five straight chapters of just chlex, but you know, just me. I do like the story so far. B
Polly 2003-04-21 ch 10,	abuseWow – I loved the way that Lex is becoming more distant and removed from his friends, especially Clark. His lack of contrition or an apology after snapping at him is a sure sign that this is far more than the Luthor temperament or the stress of business. I only hope that Clark will see past this and find a way to help him. Congratulations on a good, solid plot with plenty of twists and questions to keep our minds busy! It’s good to see Clark working WITH Jonathan for a change instead of having to reason with him/defend his actions etc. They can make a good team (though this little adventure shows that, at times, Clark’s about as much of a ‘team player’ as Lex Luthor is). Also, it’ good to see a little Jonathan and Lana interaction. Her reaction to a father figure (of sorts) and his little explored behaviour with her, was very touching. The scene with Lana and the tramp was very powerful as (as far as they are aware) it was an all too human attack, possibly of a sexual nature and that can be far more disturbing than the ‘monster of the week’ attack where kryptonite can be used to explain away motives and behaviour. This made Clark’s, almost petulant reaction at not being her saviour seem all the more petty, despite meaning so much to him. You can understand his feelings though and it’s good to explore another dimension to him. Nice use of the ever dependable Pete, too! Including him always seems to be a problem in my stories but you manage to do it so effortlessly :-) Anyway, I’m very glad that I got an early sneak-peak at this and I’m sorry the review came a little late! FAB story and I’m looking forward to seeing how Lex’s irrational and distant behaviour is going to deteriorate somehow and lead to the copious h/c that I just know will be coming :-) .
... 2003-04-19 ch 10, anon.	abuseGood stuff!! Needs more fluff, though, I'd say :)
Suz 2003-04-17 ch 9, anon.	abuseCool story! Wow what's up with the hermit guy are Clark and Jonathan gonna find him? Is he dangerous. I can't wait to read more about that!! What was the rash on Lex's arm. Gee guess I'm just full of questoins huh...LOL Only thing I didn't really care for was the Chloe Lex scenes. Looking forward to more of this story tho!:)
szhismine 2003-04-17 ch 6,	abusehi! i haven't read up to chapter nine yet. i'm not even done chapter six. i just wanted to let you know that i really like this fic, and i'll be reading the rest tomorrow, when i can. :) this is good so far! :) happy writing. ;)
Polly 2003-04-17 ch 9,	abuseAh - that Lex! loved the image of him pushing himself as far as he can go with a lovely, physical workout. There's something about Lex frantically exercising that's easy to picture :-) It was a very sweet pep-talk that Lex gave Chloe as well. I'm glad they can be so frank in their relationship. Lex needs someone that he doesn't have to tiptoe around in conversation. That was certainly a very apt book that our Lex is reading - I only hope it doesn't apply to the poor boy TOO closely! Oh, and some nice characteriations of Lana, too. She does have my sympathy - working all through her summer holiday. Well, can't wait to see more of lovely Lex-angst coming up. :-)
A 2003-04-16 ch 8, anon.	abuseThe story's Great! Keep up with the Clark and Lana situation. Please, don't leave it hanging
