  • The crux of your writing whilst appearing agreeable at first, did not sit very well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one would do nicely to fill in those breaks. In the event that you actually can accomplish that, I would certainly be fascinated.
