My only issue was that there were quite a few typographical errors, and occasionally the language was clunky and which made it a little difficult to read aloud.
Sorry, but I could not give this more than 2 stars - and that may have been generous (it was 3 but as I wrote this review I lowered it to 2). At the start we feel for Eric but as the story progresses we start to realize that Eric is actually quite a self centered selfish boy, until at the (unsatisfy
