Good story
This is a good story, I had read it once before a long time ago and I still enjoyed it all these years later. But I do have to mention that the editing is abysmal. There are so many typos that it felt like you couldn’t go a page without seeing one or more. So whoever’s job it was to catch and fix those, they should be fired immediately!
