 Uzumaki Fenix 2009-08-27 . chapter 8I loved the author notes at the end of this chapter. Very fitting. Great story! |
 whitetigers 2009-01-11 . chapter 8I am so way behind on all my story reading and reviews. But sometimes life has us away from the computer more than normal sometimes. But as i read this, and i know I'm late here, (but i still love Christmas at all times of the year, not just at Christmas time)but this has to be my favorite Christmas story of all time in HB fandom. It's a Wonderful Life is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies and to see Joe playing the part of Jimmy Stewart was really awesome. To let Joe see how very much he's needed in this world because with out him everyone else' lives would not be that great. Where would we be without the boys, let alone just one of them? Great job, Phoenix! You're an awesome writer. |
 HelenLouise 2008-12-22 . chapter 8Ah...
Sorry it's taken so long to get around to reviewing this wonderful, awesome, superb story.
It had me in tears so many times. It was so incredibly well thought out and beautifully crafted.
I particularly loved the notes at the end - the incredibly clever ways in which you demonstrated how Joe had touched everyone's lives in such subtle ways.
That left me awestruck and almost lost for words.
Thank you so much for this incredible piece of fiction.
Beautiful. |
 epalladino 2008-12-22 . chapter 8A very nice, heart-warming story for the holidays. I think I read this before on another site, but it was worth reading again. Thanks, Beth |
 Valtira 2008-12-22 . chapter 8Thank you! |
 gw 2008-12-21 . chapter 8 Great story. I loved it. And Merry Christmas to you. |
 cavetrollgrl 2008-12-21 . chapter 8Great story. I especially liked how in the dream world when little Joe passed spmeone they felt different but were't quite sure why. Frank finally figuring out something was up was a good lead for back to normal. The last bit was too cute brotherly love at it's best. Happy holidays |

Thanks for sharing your stories with us.

On a side note: I know you have probably already heard, but if not, than look for information about a SN convention the last weekend of August near you. |
 charis-kalos 2008-12-20 . chapter 8Lovely conclusion. And I knew the older man was Frank! Thank you for this Christmas present. |

 Chromde 2008-12-20 . chapter 8That was a really beautiful story. The ending was amazing, and I really loved the scene of everyone chasing the little Joe.
Your final note was great too. Merry Christmas! |
 Thorny Hedge 2008-12-20 . chapter 8What a wonderful, timely story. Merry Christmas to you and yours too! *hug* |
 MissMe113 2008-12-20 . chapter 8WOW!!
I can't believe I never thought that Frank was going to the same hospital Joe and Iola were supposed to be singing at!!
HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THAT?!
Wow! (Again) That was seriously amazing!!
I loved the whole chapter, and now everything makes sense...
Fantastic job!
Merry Christmas!
