Great Short Story!

The author painted such vivid scenes and emotions! And the narrator really brought the story to life. He read the story in full, and believable, character and even shifted tone for other characters' dialogue which allowed me to fully immerse in the story. I am very impressed!

Beautifully Written But Didn't Like Abrupt Ending

I love the story of the young boy who had fallen in love with his best friend's sister. I was fully immersed in it, but was really disappointed that it ended . . . . abruptly. 🙄

Excellent “Performance”

A favorite for many years. Well read and highly recommended to everyone. Free and only 14 minutes long!!!!

First taste of Joyce

I was immediately caught by his detailed description of his interior and exterior world.
I only wish the story had been slightly longer.

Confused

I had to read this book for school and I have no idea what the point of this book was. Especially how abrupt the ending was.
