-Randy Pausch


Summary:

But the chances of those happening are nil.
A million health issues that won't go away.
Parents determined to blow their vocal cords.
A concerned, troubled best friend.
A missing brother.
A strange, artistic guy.
A crazy girl determined to succeed.
What does that add up to?

Filled with laughs, probably not a whole lot of tears, butt-plants and balloons sprouting from kitty bums, follow Renee as she struggles to suppress her feelings(and sarcastic comments) and find her brother before it's too late.

Thank you for the comment. =)  I will definitely try to comment on that--my time is limited, but I'll get to it as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed your work--the characters are memorable, unique, and like many have said here, realistic. I think that's one of the things that can make or break a reader's interest, and it's safe to say you pulled it off.

The humor is top notch without being over the top, and it definitely provided a fuel that kept the story moving.

I'll have to check out the rest on InkPop!

I really, really like this novel - it's most definitely one of the best on the site. Your descriptions are really great, and the characters are so realistic. I'm going to read the rest on inkpop(:

And... I hear you give some pretty awesome feedback. So, would you mind reading my novel Celestial? It's on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. Thanks(:

I like it so far. Renee's voice makes me laugh so much yet she is so real. Her pain over her missing brother is real, which is the most important part. I'm excited to read more!

Thanks! I didn't see this comment until now. -_- *headdesk*

 

Yeah, I know the spacing's messed up. -_- I tried to fix it but...yeah. Didn't work.

 

Just curious--how did you think it moved too fast?

I'm too lazy to read the inkpop part of it right now, but this part is pretty good. It moves kind of quickly for a novel, but overall I like it.

 

Oh, and chpt. 3 is hard to read because the spacing didn't turn out.

A picture is worth a thousand words, however it takes a real artist to turn words into pictures.

Have you heard about the new Lebron Iphone, you have to set it on vibrate because it doesn't have any rings

You already know my opinions on this I love every single word right done to the last period. It is a great great great read and I recommend it to everyone.

 

I don't know my comments for lexie are never as long anymore because all I have is praise for fantastic writing.

I read the rest of it, and I say this a lot, but I loved it.  The surprise ending was great.  I thought it was a really funny (although sad) book.  I
