Your review

Write a review (max. 350 words) of a short story.  Briefly summarize the story (without giving anything away), then focus on the elements you find interesting to comment upon, such as point of view, characters / characterization, plot, style, effects, etc.  Finish by giving your honest opinion and don't forget to sign your name!  Feel free to comment on your classmates' reviews.
