This story is great, i find the story really entertaining! The only things i have to complain about are 1. I can't see Lara having a papparazo tagging along, if i was her i would knock him out and leave him in an ally and 2. The story went a little bit fast sometimes. Otherwise, it is great! :-)

Loved it! Great story, quite a simple idea and did wonders with it. Well done!

This is one great piece of work! It was a great story-plenty of action, dialouge, and a unique first person view of the story. And, for a change, the story dosent follow Lara, but another charachter instead. This so far is porbably my favorite FanFiction!

Hello again Timmy! I can call ya Timmy, right?

This , I am speechless. And not neccessarily in a good way.

This was , I'm trying to think of the right maybe?

The whole concept of the djinn just didn't make sense to me.

Still, I hope to see more writings from you in the future.

I can't be bothered to write a review :) - I agree with everyone that this is a great story. However, I will make a comment. There's a theory about in the TR fiction community that it's impossible to write a good first person story. This is one of those stories that proves what a load of old bollocks that particular pronouncement is. Besides which, it's a groovy idea to have a narrator who isn't Lara observing Lara :) And it also shows how much better a Brit writer can write "Dick Van Dyke" dialogue ... unlike most American writers, who go for the lawks luv a duck gorblimey gawd bless you Mary Poppins, etc type thing.

Good god, that's a brilliant story. From the summary I was expecting a short piece about Lara kicking the snot out of a journalist, and instead we get Lara taking on an evil entity and it's small army of henchmen - and kicking the snot out of a journalist. Brilliantly written, and the whole "telling the story to his mates who think he's full of bollocks" angle both frames the story nicely and provides the comic relief. Your style kind of reminds me of Jeffery Archer, by the way. This review's already twice as long as I meant it to be, which mean's I'm rambling. I'll shut up now.

GO TIM GO TIM GO TIM GO TIM GO TIM! Probably the most accurate characterisations of Lara, except a tad bit mean. Nvm. Girl power! And great, GREAT, GRREEEAAAAAT job.

Using a barroom reminiscence device to frame the story is a risk. Most authors, myself included, would botch it horribly. Fortunately for the reader, Tim pulled it off brilliantly.

The plot itself is great TR, the characters and villain/creature well-drawn, but what makes this story work so well is the overall vision of Lara herself, as seen by the narrator and revealed by Lara herself. TR is by no means the best PC game out there, but people come back to it again and again due to some indefinable fascination with the character of Lara Croft. Tim nails that indefinable something in this tale.

I can't find any badness here, so rather than babble on in superfluous praise I'll shut up now.

Hiya _ (you might know me from a year or so back, I wrote a few fics under the name of Kali and you were unreasonably nice to me. God, I was terrible) I was wondering if there was to be anything more after Hell Hath No Fury, and this appearance is good because it means I don't have to hunt you down and throw rocks at you...

I digress. Review. This is a *wonderful* story. The dialogue is...perfect. I've never read better dialogue by any other author. The writing is wonderful and descriptive (Tony's asides and comparisons are a great touch, gives it a real storytelling feel) but it doesn't get in the way of the action, if you see what I mean. Fantastic overall, reading fics like this make my day. Thank you so much for writing it.
