RE: To those who let go - Too grim?
Topic posted in response to To those who let go : http://www.abctales.com/story/sal/those-who-let-
Just wondering if the writing style is too grim to read through enjoyably?

Hi Sal
That link wasn't working properly, this one should be fine:

I see the effect you're trying to create, and I very much like the atmosphere you're going for. I think the overall rhythm works well, but I think clarity has been comprimised a little.
I may be totally wrong here, I get the feeling this has been rewritten a number of times, that it started as one thing but is currently another.
Few specific points:
- "articicial" should be artifical, I think?
- I'm not sure about the 'din of sideways glances'
- I don't understand the second sentence: 'The price is our reason, and the 'idea' more than the effect.'
Cheers
Ben
