You are one good writer and I hope you never stop! I can't tell you how deeply your book has touched me.

So I purposely put it aside for several nights, doling out their story in chapters to extend the tension and the company of their characters. Kudos to you for a job well done!</B></FONT></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>HK, Anaheim, California</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B> </B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#333333" FACE="Bookman Old Style" ><B> The opening reminded me of Dickens. I hope you don't mind me saying so. I always loved Dickens. The story is gripping and the characters won't be soon forgotten.</B></FONT></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>WD, Springfield, Illinois</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>   </B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#333333" FACE="Bookman Old Style" ><B>Your book was a special treat! Your knowledge of late Victorian London and New York was impressive. The characters were interesting and well developed. They really came to life for me. I hope you revisit this era in future books, of which I hope there are many.</B></FONT></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>BJ, Omaha, Nebraska</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
