I felt that the characters were well-developed, the plot was well-paced, and the theme was strongly grounded. And I have developed an infatuation with the name Hemholtz. Any comments?

The last three chapters are just sort of blah and predictable, but then if you take in the story it's incredible. If you think about it, I mean. Some of the lines I was like WOOOAHHH on. The one about drops of water. Even the smallest drops of water can wear holes in the hardest granite... Something like that. My brain exploded. Edited by Ewuare, Wednesday, 23. November 2011, 20:44.

And it wasn't just based on America, it's based on the world, I suppose. It exaggerated pretty much all the flaws of society and blew them up in our faces. Beautiful :')
