A very well done work. Each time I come reading I pick something from your write but today I'm delighted to pick "I think the best thing I picked up in life is also the best one to relay, "Dreams don't die!" and will come back into your life even though circumstance dictated you shelve them; provided you never forget about them. I wanted to be a mountaineer and explorer, to wade through a frozen hell with that possibility I will die. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! I felt that is an important message to get out as so many people tend to leave what they put behind them and give up. I look at not doing so, as a way to occupy one's remaining time. I enjoyed this review and what you go out of it. Mike

Of writing, scouting and sadness ... We follow one man's spiritual and intellectual growth as he accepts various challenges in his life.

Rating of Chapter 1 - Love At First Shot
It is very interesting how a person can go back into time and recall vivid details of moments in their childhood.

This is a good point of view. The details are quite interesting! I must admit the fascination is largely due to having front row seats into someone's life.

Rescued torahs from the holocaust... that's pretty cool!

It's pretty long, and could use some tension to hold the reader's attention. Of course, since this is non-fiction you're kind of limited in that respect. Try to find exciting, riveting perspectives from which to see the situations you write about.

    Beleive me, the tension comes in the next chapter that I post as a poem regarding love gets me escorted out and told never to return. I enjoy this review and thank you for it. Mike

Great descriptions, I enjoyed reading about a heritage that is such an important factor in your life. Your story provided good insight into the Jewish way of life and what it means to you. I noticed that it sounded like a perfunctory list of events at some points. Maybe you could try to elaborate more on certain issues or choose the most important points of your narrative and leave out the one's with less significance. Good luck!

    The elaboration does happen, but in later posts of the chapter as I have to split things up to post her. I consider this one a bridging part of the chapter and in this case, sums up the aspects of my life that is required for the rest of it.

    Well read on, I appreciate the Jewish side of things, but I am not kosher to them in the end. I feel lucky as I have gotten a lot out of all the religions, which actually provides me with the faith that God actually exists. I thank you for this review as I enjoyed it! Mike

Rating of Chapter 89 - God the politics! Part 2
Bands, beer and Facebook. Pretty well sums up current culture. The thought did occur maybe one could round up a few drunks to review. They are seeing double so probably would award loads of stars. ;-)

    No, they already heard my stories! I don't go out to drink much and the only party I enjoyed in town were the beer and bacons, but the audience changed in age and maturity and I put them too, behind me. Don't go out much.

    I thank you for your review and the smiley! Mike

Is that all there is? One works himself/herself to a stupified condition then finds they owe more than they make. Walks around a house filled with the latest technology none of which works. It looks like typists are in hot demand to type the pages and pages of a health care plan that no one understands.

    LOL! I am very surprised this chapter got the good reveiws it has gotten. The frustration with having to split up my chapters is that this part is not only a bridging part, but a nuts and bolt one as well. I wasn't comfortable with writing the business up the way I had to, but it held so many considerations for the reader, I felt it that important.

    I love the humor in this display and the FanStory writers are far superior then those that write up the health care plans. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. MIke

This is a very well written story about the mis-adventures of living in today's urbanhood. You show a talent for writing andI enjoyed the Poe part. Good job.

    Well, I think it is this chapter that I mentioned I got reamed out by the curator of the Poe House for sugar coating the crime. I found out since they have been closed, they lost their steps and have been vandalized.



    I thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike

    You are missing a great image if you have the essential for modifying your imagers. The ghost of Poe comes from his grave to right the injustice done to his shrine.

I liked the story, easy to follow, very good. I have some editing notes below.
in the fore front (forefront) of it all,
Well he thinks either a lost tourist in a lot of danger or a drug dealer they all fear. Considering his laugh, it must have been the former. (the italics are wrong i think)

    No, I was getting plastered for not putting my thoughts into italics to diferenciate them from conversation. I will change forefront tomorrow. I thank you for the compliments, suggestions and this review. Mike
