I think I actually knew that. I ...Oh, never mind. I think I actually knew that. I get confused between people asking for feedback vs. people putting out previews. It wasn't anything major anyway. And when I think of some of my other favorites of this style, they very often list everything together. As an example, The Giver, while very different in apparent content from Famished, at several points puts all the rules right out there together. <br /><br />Congratulations. Tuesday, eh? You must be very excited. So happy for you.<br /><br />Paul D.

You've got me intrigued. I've ...I like it. You've got me intrigued. I've always been a fan of apocalyptic settings (while at the same time being terrified of it. I think this is why I write some of the stories that I do). You drop us right into the action. Fascinating concept of the interlinked underground community.<br /><br />My only suggestion (take it or leave it) would be to try and find a way to spread out the rules of the community when they are applicable. For example, instead of telling us all at once, perhaps you can only tell me about rule #2 when she encounters May Vickers. Maybe hint that there are three rules, but just telling me one rule now will keep me hooked to find out the others (obviously there is more that has hooked me, but that's just one more thing). Just a suggestion.<br /><br />Paul D.
