Ha, I love how you wrapped it all up! This story was so good!

Another great story! loovvee it :D

Oh, this is absolutely hilarious. Oliver's so.. funny. He's a complete contradiction, half the time. "BAD OLIVER!"
And he's so cute.. in a brotherly sort of way. In a you're-my-best-friend-but-I-kinda-sorta-think-you're-hot kind of way. But it works for him. =)

My favorite line: {so many to choose from!}

"You bet I’m going to talk to Roger Davies.
And there probably won’t be much left of him when I’ve finished."

Aw that was cute. I love what Katie said to George and Fred at the end.

That was very funny!! I really enjoyed reading from Oliver's point of view as Iam a girl so have no idea of what goes through the mond of a male.
Have a good day!!

heyho
I just want to tell you that I love your story. it's like Puddledugs - amazing!
best wishes

Very, very sweet. :) I love Oliver's thoughts. Your best story yet! imo, anyway. :P

First of all...your writting never ceases to thrill me. It is absolutely wonderful! I loved puddleducks and this. my favorite brutal truths were 24, 32, 33, 41 and 42. keep up the amazing work and i will continue to read!

I love all things puddleduck =)

Bwah!

Ha, what a way to start out a review...

Anyways, this is AH-MAZING!

I've heard so much of you, and 'Merely the Brutal Truth'. Thought I should read it, and so glad I started. You ROCK AND ROLL, honestly and truly. Gonna read and review the next awesome chapters!

LOVE THIS LINE!! --> 'life makes sense on the quidditch pitch;all that matters is the balls' haha i almost fell outta my chair laughing. love the story too!! keep writing!!

I love your last sentence. Actually, I just love the whole story. You're a very good writer.

I really liked this story, read it from first to last without once finding it boring ^^ It's quite interesting how to divide your chapters, but not in a bad way. Anyhow, keep up the good work! (oh and Katie/Oliver are quite the best match)

I wandered over to read this after having read "Puddleducks," and I was glad to see this spinoff. The structure of this fic was good and, I thought, fitting with the title and overall theme -- at first, at least. The "absolute truths" in the first few chapters are just that, statements of the truth, and I liked that. But you lost it somewhere in the middle. "My name is..." is a statement of the truth, but "Stupid stupid stupid" is not, lol. I also thought the way the plot progressed was very smooth.

Oliver's struggle with himself was very realistic too, I thought. He's absolutely right: though a three-year age difference isn't all that much, it means a LOT when you're fourteen and seventeen. Oliver's progression from trying to deny his infatuation with Katie, to accepting it, was very real (loved the Twister game ;-) ). Fred and George were, well, Fred and George, and just the way I like them: complete and utter troublemakers. There were parts in this fic where I chuckled out loud. And the "Oh, my giddy aunt" made me think of my grandfather, who was from Yorkshire. He said that all of the time. :-)

My one major pick about this story is that I would STRONGLY recommend that you find a good beta reader. Despite all of the things that I liked and mentioned above, the only reason I kept reading was because I've been desperate lately for O/K fics. The grammatical and spelling errors are a huge turnoff, but I think you'd get a lot more readers if you had a thorough beta look over your work. I personally will stop reading a fic if the errors are too egregious. I'm not saying that to be mean, I'm just stating a fact.

All in all, an enjoyable read. -cb

IT's FINISHED!?
hehe. the ending was perfect, I'll admit, but still.. *sobs* i don't wanntt it to be over. ah well, no doubt you'll come up with something even more impossibly gorgeous soon. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Anyway, before I rave some more, I suppose I better be nice and welcome you back!

hey there!
I swear I reviewed this! well, obviously i didnt, or i wouldnt be able to now.. but anyway, i think i'm going insane. don't worry. lol

First order of business.. I MISS YOU! haha
When i finally got to cleaning out my inbox this morning after that flood of alerts, i was actually very, very excited to discover you'd updated.. even though i swear i'd read this chapter before. dear God, I think i really am going insane. don't mind me.

Um.. well, i really loved this chapter, the ending was perfect. And I love Oliver's view on Twister. cracked me up. "stupid bloody coloured dots..." And '42'? haha. too cute.

I loved the last few lines too, they were so gorgeous.
"Shes my soulmate.
thats the most brutal truth of all."
naw... sniff. love.

Anyway, I love this story, I love Oliver and Katie.
Congratulations on finishing it m'dear!
Looking forward to seeing more lovable writings soon,
Ash xox
