 BurningTheMidnightOil 2009-04-21 . chapter 10Ok, prepare yourself because unlike every other person who's "reviewed" I am going to be very honest and quite frank about the quality of this story.
Firstly, The RAMPANT Out of Character-ness needs to cease and desist.
Example: Bella's New Car. Have even you read all of the books? Her wanting/liking a luxury car is so vastly out of character it's laughable.
Secondly, it's very clear that you need a beta, because not only do you quite OFTEN Misspell words you Misuse them as well.
Example: "some sort of delegate pattern "
You meant Delicate. Not Delegate. See Definition:

Thirdly, While your is certainly not the worst story I've ever read in this fandom it's still a good ways away from the best; but as it currently stands it's just not worth my time.
I did however, enjoy the idea for this story. Bella moving in with Edward holds a great appeal. Also, you did write the summary well, it did capture my interest and get me to read a few chapters.
Lastly, with all that being said; good luck with your writing. Continue to improve your writing by editing, revising and proofreading. |

"Et toute la longueur, de l'Amérique, est de quatre jeunes filles faisant un numéro appelé Marmarlade Dame de l'American film Moulin Rouge,"
would be better in
"Directement venues d'Amérique, quatre jeunes filles vont nous interpréter un numéro intitulé Lady Marmelade, tiré du film américain, Moulin Rouge". |
