Denes,
I want to give you my overall impression of your work: You have a terrific writing style. You have obviously done a significant amount of planning and preparation in crafting your work.
Your prose is nicely written with details that capture the reader. Right from the start your plot was very engaging. You do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story with details and a certain voice that allows your reader to really interact with the characters (who are all rounded out, and very nicely developed). The greatest value in fiction, it seems to me, lies in what we can learn about our own lives when we take time to analyze someone else's — even if that someone else is just a character in a story.
Characterization is one of the most important elements of any successful story. I always love it when I leave a story feeling like I know the characters. This is true for your prose. So many authors rush through their stories without really developing them. Not you. Your book reads like a movie in my mind. You have crafted a quality piece of writing. Bravo!
Congratulations again.
Sincerely,
Lisa Conner
Manuscript Review Team

From The Readers “The first time I read Wilderness I kept reading because I couldn’t wait to see what happens with the characters. The second time I read it for the sheer pleasure of the writing. Anybody reading it once is definitely going to want to read it again.”
“The gradual regeneration of the human spirit following the brutality of the ‘incident’ renewed my faith in others, and in myself.”
“Poetic, prosaic, insightful, getting to the heart of the human condition.”
“Harlen McCoy had me at ‘raking the invisible leaves’, and kept me with ‘wanting to hire a Judge Judy impersonator from Craigslist to come over and take a bath’.”
“’Kevin wore the same kind of shirt every day of his life, but with different colored sleeves’? We need more Kevins.”
“A story of faith, not prescription, or formula faith, but the kind that enables love to find a willing host.”
“The women in this novel are women I want to get to know. The men are the friends I wish I had.”
“Your description of Pastor Blauer is an Edward Hopper painting in words (‘He’s about 5’6” tall, with a cheap haircut, and usually wearing a powder blue suit. Sometimes he wears a brown polyester suit, kind of shiny from age. Makes him look upholstered, like an old hide-a-bed, or a couch you might keep out in the carport’).”
“I like that David watches Tom and Tracy Morgan through their window in the evening from his rooftop. I like that Tom sits on his couch naked. And I like that he doesn’t care who’s watching. If I were a character in the book I’d be Tom Morgan.”
“Made me look at my own wilderness.”
“Sexy and romantic. I wish Gina would dangle her hush-puppy in my café.”
“Stimulated more discussion with my husband than any book we’ve ever read together.” |
