I liked it; I thought the style was funny.

What a sweety!

But a sexy dork nevertheless... And yes, I am shitting you.

Thank you. It's a shame you didn't read the whole thing, because it's hard to get a good idea about the way the story opens without reading it... I knew what a pagoda was when I was 12, so I'm counting on my readership to 1) know, 2) have a dictionary or 3) understand what it us from context. In terms of the relative length of the book, I do focus on Jack right away, since in a 80,000 word book a 100 word descriptive passage at the start isn't much. I think it's important to establish the surroundings, however briefly, first, then introduce Jack. Why wouldn't a 12-16 year old care about giant Snails? Giant Snails... with guns. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Thank you though, of course, Meta.

What the height of semantics? You're grammar. :p

I'm glad Scotland made the list, it has so many beautiful beaches - Although they are freezing cold most of the time, of course. As my Grandfather says "I like the Scottish Summer; It's my favourite day of the year."

BURGERS + CHIPS + ALCOHOL Death

Hahaha. Very funny. And Shenjee, I think that the twist is rather the main point - it wouldn't have been very funny without it...

Hi there, I visited the web link, and the artwork in the Devi comics is superb!

Glad you folks liked it. I'll be uploading some other bits and pieces soon, so feel free to have a browse of those too.
