Samhain13 2004-10-30 ch 7,	abuseReally. Are you /ever/ going to update this?
Captain Mab 2004-03-30 ch 7,	abuseHi. I'm really glad you're writing this, as I don't like the idea that Tom was born evil. I enjoy seeing reasons for why he is the way he is, and you are very good at taking little details from the books and weaving them in here. I especially liked how Tom chose his own wand, and got himself onto Platform 9 and 3/4. It shows him as wanting to be self-reliant, rather than depending on anyone, even friends like Harry depends on, and I'll get out of literary analysis mode now. I assume you are also a Shakespeare fan. I liked the part about him being a wizard, but his sonnets were just beautiful poetry. I can definitely see Dumbledore saying that. Also, Tom's owl (Banquo) invites all sorts of comparisons between Tom and Macbeth. Which was probably the point. The walking on water part was weird. I'm not sure what to think of that, as I had the impression the first-year boat ride was a longtime tradition. And your comment about the thestrals was interesting; I never noticed that before. I wonder how the students got to the castle before Hagrid? Oh, and the other thing I thought was just strange was how Tom heard the Sorting Hat. There will be an explanation for that later on, though, right? Or is it just because he's the descendent of Slytherin? That part had me confused. I have a couple suggestions about your writing. First, you do a good job writing young Tom, but there are a few brief POV switches. I noticed one while Tom is talking to Dumbledore, and another while he is talking to Nathe - just a few sentences that are suddenly from the other person's point of view. The story will flow a lot more smoothly if you keep to Tom's POV for the whole thing. The second thing is more specific. In chapter...4, I think, Dumbledore says that Muggles know so little. This statement seems very out of character, as I cannot see Dumbledore saying that Muggles are inferior to wizards. Rather, it's easier to imagine him talking about all the amazing things Muggles think of. Well, those are my comments. I really did enjoy reading this, it's always nice to get a break from the more commonly written-about characters. And Tom is a fascinating one to learn more about. As for the characters I would like to see... I'll vote for a Weasley, any Weasley, because there should always be Weasleys, and Moody. ~Love, Tempest
Delie 2004-03-27 ch 7,	abuseI did it finally!Yay for me! I thought you'd be up to chapter one hundred and twenty seven by now (tho' you're probably currently writing fic one hundred and twenty seven!)This chapter was so funny! “No, probably not… that sounds a bit like spaniel, doesn’t it?
Louiseifer 2004-02-12 ch 7,	abuseLOOK AT ME! I'm reviewing! ...yeah, I'm at my grandparents' house Sigh still can't review from home Looks pathetic Anyway. Am very glad Nathe is no longer a raving loony. Just a loony is quite enough. And I really really want to see more of that Malfoy chappie. Anyway, must scarper now. Have fun skiing! Waves hysterically
DavidCamp 2004-02-05 ch 7, anon.	abuseOkay. Here is my REAL review. The opening paragraph reminds me of Hook when they imagine the food and it eventually appears. Very good, I like it. Bloody Baron moment excellent. Wonderful description. This is why this story is your best work = the description rocks. “…Riddly or whatever your name was.

MsBennet 2004-02-03 ch 7,	abuseThis is wonderful, you tell it so beautifully. There are very few trully good stories on fanfiction.net and this is definitely one of them. This is officially one of my favourite fics. :)

Potter FanB612 2003-11-13 ch 1, anon.	abusePersonaly I Think Your Story Really Is Gay. So Here Is Some Advice, Get Your Foot Out Of Your , And Stop Writing Suching Peices Of **.
Hwesta 2003-11-04 ch 7,	abuseWell done! You've really made this original! I know it must have been hard to make previous chapters different because Tom's history is so simular to Harry's. But you've done it! Feel proud! I'm sure it will be easy to write new stuff from now on! I loved the founders conversation. Now I'm looking forward to reading how he'll do in Slytherin!
Morganna Arrowood 2003-11-02 ch 7,	abuseHeylo Polkat! Just noticed the story actually. Nice job! I like the way you are portraying Riddle, especially the whole scene where he's skeptical about being a wizard. Also thought the four voices in the hat was a nice twist. Keep going, we'll get to see how Slytherin twisted up his mind and made him evil. (or he could have always been evil at heart). Keep writing! North*Star I have just been your 54th reviewer, doesn't that make your day so much more special?
