Really exciting chapter. The paragraph beginning 'She was feeling dizzy...' is particularly effective - there was something horrific in the image of Johnson's 'pale face' just staring at her. I admire the way you are racking up the action while...

I found this really moving, Jean. The careful and restrained way Toyo tries to maintain decency and a sense of normality in such an impossible situation, and the powerlessness of all the internees, is beautifully drawn. I'm really enjoying...

I wasn't too sure about this when it started, but the details of the pool hall and the game were fascinating and really carried me along. I'm not too sure about the ending. I liked the way you set it up as 'old guy meets his young nemesis' and...

Very well paced, packed full of information but not overloading the reader. Particularly like the way the dialogue develops and gives insight into the characters.

This is great - the sense of unease is beautifully maintained, with Weasley giving the reader shudders and our concern for Kit growing all the time. Excellent cliffhanger ending. Please do keep posting more of this, it's so good.
