I can say very honestly that I was definitely hoping for a longer series, but the seven chapters that there were were really well written & detailed. I liked the plot a lot too.
Is there going to be a sequel, or was this just a random story?
Favourite line: “What can I say? I am a rebel without a cause.”
Oh, with the smirk - so easy to picture, so in character. The way he got her down off of that fence was absolutely brilliant too. This was a great fic, with great interaction between them. It fits completely what I was saying as well - they'd never be friends in the conventional terms, though clearly they are partners in crime. Great fic - glad to help out.
Yay, you finally finished. I was beginning to think that you'd forgotten about this story altogether, LOL.
“Where do you want me to start?” Ha ha, Bender's such an arrogant pig...just the way we like him. :p
I loved the image of the two of them spray painting a wall together. I smiled just thinking about it. :) I also loved the image of John jumping on top of the police car because he couldn't stop running, LOL.
“If it makes you feel any better, you do have a nice ass.” Hehe!
I liked the way this ended. It was fun and exciting (when is running from the cops ever NOT exciting? LOL), and they didn't promise anything to one another, which was in character and realistic. I enjoyed reading this story, and I'm glad you finally finished it! Now I can't wait to read the stuff you have coming up. :)
mari 8/13/06 . chapter 6
this fic is really good i love the way you write please update soon bye
I have been trying to leave a review for ages! Stupid ffn. I swear it hates me. So I really liked this chapter. The dialogue was excellent, and I loved how you switched from John's POV to Allison's. And only one more chapter? *pouts* Please tell me you're planning another Bender/Allison fic.
I really liked Allison and Bender's conversation about the differences between their households and parents, and which kind of parent was worse. It's sad they even have to be having this conversation. I also found it sad that Bender wished his mother would have read him a book or something, and that he drew them pictures to show them he loved them. That was such a poignant image.
And be careful with commas. You're still using commas when you should be using periods (Allison shook her head quietly, “No.” - It should be: Allison shook her head quietly. "No."). You only use a comma when you use a verb like said, replied, screamed, etc.
So, Allison has no interest in Bender romantically? Well, I have no problem with that, LOL. I'm just kidding. But I liked their conversation in this chapter. It was very comfortable and relaxed, and the diner atmosphere really added to that. I can't wait to see what the final chapter's going to be like!
There's one thing I wanted to point out before I got to the important stuff. A lot of times, you have lines like this:
Allison eyed him carefully and jutted out her chin, “That’s not true…”
You should use a period there, not a comma. You use commas when the verb is something like "asked" or "said". Like this: Allison said, "That's not true..." Otherwise, you can just use a period.
Okay, now for the fun stuff. I loved Andy and Allison's section. Their sex talk was funny, and it was a great nod to the movie. I love this: 'He swallowed hard and looked at her with wide blue eyes, “What did they do?”' LOL. Oh, Andy. That reminded me of the part of the film where he looks at her so seriously and asks what her shrink did when she told him she was a nymphomaniac. Those two are so funny around each other.
The part where John punches Claire's stuffed animal cracked me up, LOL! I don't know why, but it was just so funny to me. And good for Claire for hitting John in the crotch! He totally deserved it, as usual, LOL.
I liked the closing lines, where John and Allison argue about the preppy kids. I can see John reacting like that and insisting that there is a difference between them while Allison felt like there shouldn't be. I'm liking where all of this is going, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
I liked Allison's kind of messed up respect for the popular kids, how she "admired" their courage to laugh loudly and look nice. That was really interesting. I can imagine her feeling that way.
And I can't believe they were just going to walk in, steal some stuff and leave! Ha! That's so...I don't know, but it's funny.
Aw, the description of Claire's old playroom made me sad. I like that Allison wondered what the girl was like and whether she was still in the house. And, of course, loved that she ran into Andy!
I think my favorite part of the chapter was when Bender stole the picture from Claire's room and put it in his wallet. I wonder how many times he's done this, eh? I wonder how many of the pictures in his wallet came from houses like Claire's?
Hey, hey, hey! It's been a while since I've read this fic, but it's still as fun as ever. I liked the part where Allison mentions that she likes the rich people's garden because it represented care, which was something that her family never showed towards her. I also liked that she said she didn't like Culture Club (I mentioned that in one of my fics, so I thought it was funny that we both agreed that she'd hate them, LOL). Anyway, I'm off to read about them crashing the rich kids' party. Stubby's, perhaps? :)
hi, i just love the story you make of the Breakfest Club. it is my favorite moive. i was hopeing to find some stories with John and Allison. I always thought they are a nice and cute couple. I didn't like that people pair John with the Claire and with Allison with Andrew. I was happy to find your stories. I just hope you finish this story so i can see if John and Allison get together just like your other story i like called: "And then there were two". I like that one also, anyway i just hope you write more to this story.
