 Gyrus 12/19/01 . chapter 1The most impressive aspect of this story is the use of descriptive language. The author has an obvious and commendable love of words which makes for some great visual imagery ("lozenges of amber street light", "Moonlight slashed her"). Also, most of the dialogue was very in-character. I did, however, have some trouble understanding the message of the story. It seemed that something was being revealed about Angel's character in the bathroom-mirror scene, but I couldn't tell if it was his desire to be alive, some kind of affirmation of his existence, or what. But maybe I'm just thick. :) |
