To be honest, intially, I wasn't too sure if I liked your style of writing or not... However, after getting through all ten chapters in one sitting, losing track of all time, and finding that I thoroughly enjoyed myself, I think it's pretty safe to say that 'Better than Burroughs' is quite well written. Your use of two different perspectives is done very effectively, and your prose is well-paced and entertaining - in particular, Callum's 'thoughts' are often a kicker!

In short, I love what I've read - it's brilliant. And I absolutely adore Callum! Please continue to update!

Hey

Just wanted to say how much I love and adore this story. I really like the slow build-up, the characters and the words. But what makes this story worth-while is all the small things, you include - the tiny observations of hands and hair strands and all the other stuff. It´s wonderfull.

When I read Writing Class I often had a problem with Miranda. It seemed like your main interest was Finn and Miranda sometimes sort of didn't stood out as clear. In this story, however, Marina is a bit more well-rounded - partly through Callum's commentary, I think - and it really helps. The readers have to fall equally in love with both characters.

Next chapter, please! And what is your penname on fictionpress.com?

Finally, thank you for pointing out The Frames for me. They're great - I'm actually listening til Burn The Maps as I write this.

In chapter 8, interesting how Callum is an avid orange juice drinker, haha. When Marina said she needed to get a life I laughed out loud because I feel the same. I agree with Callum on how annoying it is when people don't say the exact time. When Callum said, "all girls are nosey bit parkers," that made me laugh louder. I'm not British so I don't get the exact translation of some of the slang in the story, but I've never laughed so much so thank you for that. I'm glad Callum showed his vulnerable side. Thanks for the author's note explanation at the end. Thanks for updating.

Callum was so sweet in this chapter and he has the scars to prove it, hehe. It's amazing how you can switch from a male to a female mind set. You get a cookie for mentioning PJ Harvey. I think you have given a great example of how different women and men are in the paragraph where Marina was rambling on and how Callum wasn't really listening. Thanks for coming back to this website and for updating.

Hi, this so late but in regards to your life being like Marina\'s I\'m sorry to hear that. What can\'t kill us can only make us stronger. The bad will past just like everything else in our life, stay strong. Okay, back to reviewing chapters 5 and 6. I feel so bad for Marina to find out the way she did. I hate cheaters and Felix is the biggest asshole. How could he just ask Callum to look after Marina she is not a pet or a thing and he still has the audacity to say he still loves her. Okay that is enough about dickhead Felix, haha. This line from Callum made me laugh so hard, \"One night stands are great, but not with lunatics\", hahahaha. I find this line to be so true, \"I really have to be more careful with what truths I say out of humor\". I think you have a wicked sense of humor. Loved these two chapters. Thanks for updating and please come back to this website and post more chapters.

I\'m glad to see someone finally giving Cave the respect he bloody well deserves. The man\'s a genius! As to your writing, you are amazing. You have close to prodigious talent, as well as awesome taste in music.
I look forward to future updates.
