 Yume142 2008-05-23 . chapter 1Well for starters I knew even before I read this that it was about a child.. But I was curious on how you have written it.. I must say that you have written it beautifully..
You focused on their pain but did not stray away with their situation.. With each line you can see their emotions are raw and vulnerable..
I have to say this is well written with a simple plot. two thumbs up! |
 Vera-Sabe 2008-02-26 . chapter 1Sami,
Hey there, girl! I just wanted to say how much I loved this little One-shot of yours. I almost cried after I finished reading it. My heart just went out to both Oliver and Hermione. To loose a child is quite cruel, un-fair, and heartbreaking.
It reminded me of when I was five years old and my mom lost my baby brother. My mom was eight months pregnant, she went to the hospital to give birth, and he came out still-born. It really pained her so much. I don't think I've since such defeat in her eyes and on her face like I did that day in the hospital. She looked so torn, battered, and worn out--like she aged ten times faster than normal in the span of only a few minutes.
Anyway...I absolutely loved it. Their emotions, their pain, their suffering, their loss, their defeat, and everything they were going through felt so real and it was like I could feel all of their emotions too. It was beautifully and brilliantly written.
I absolutely loved the ending and I really wanted to cry then. The way Hermione just came straight to the point with Oliver and told him to love her; it so romantic and beautiful; and the way he told her that he always will was just magnificent and fantastic.
Even through tragdey, love conquers all.
Sometimes it might not seem that way because the pain and the loss is so great. However, when Hermione and Oliver turned their hearts to one another and found that they could go through this pain together instead of separately, it really made all the difference in the world.
It seems easier to go through this alone, but the beautiful thing is that no one has to go through tragedy, loss, and pain alone, as was the case with Oliver and Hermione.
Their love was still there, buried deep in their hearts and souls. All they needed was to find their way back to each other and they did; and I'm really glad that they did.
Absolutely fantastic story.
I loved it and I put it in the my favorites. Keep up the wonderful and fabulous work, Sami! You go, girl. Rock on! ~_^
love,
Mima |

 Jenny-Beth 2007-08-23 . chapter 1Aww. It's a good thing this wasn't any longer or I would have cried! I nearly did anyways. :(
The story was good. Great, even. I love the poem. Leave it to Oliver to write a love poem about quiddich.
You did a remarkable job. Keep on writing!

 Alenor 2007-04-17 . chapter 1heya, this is good. i hope you continue. it's sad that they lost their child though. cya later. |
 chaste-aeon 2007-04-17 . chapter 1"Next to nothing. That's what's left,' he thought as he turned away from the window to head upstairs to the study." You forgot the first single quotation mark.
Oh, I have a question for you. It's just that I'm a bit confused now:
"He knew what was on her thought-plagued mind; knew she was thinking back on times before, just like she always did."
"She didn't want to make eye contact; didn't want to see the disappointment that those yellow-brown orbs held." In both sentences, there are semi-colons. As far as I know, one can use semi-colons between two independent clauses, or to avoid using too many commas to avoid confusion. There's also the rule that is applied to commas-- omission of the same pronoun (which must also pertain to the same subject) in the second independent clause... a comma can be used.
There's nothing really wrong, I suppose. I mean, I found no typo or other grammatical error-- except for that punctuation thingie... since I'm a stickler when it comes to punctuations.
To the real review:
My favorite 'ships are slytherin/gryffindor, but I just love the way you write. So, there you are, on my favorite authors. :) |
