I enjoyed this story. I thought that the style, and the writing-in-spoken-dialect aspect worked in favor of this piece. For me, it helped to create a tone and feel for this piece. I can see how the writing style could turn a lot of people off, but I thought that it was done with care and consistency, and I never found myself deterred from reading by it.

The story here was pretty good, solid if not too revolutionary. But it never felt forced or too preachy to me which was nice. The length here worked well, and the pacing felt pretty consistent, a little jumpy or convoluted at times due to the narration style, but still good. This could easily have gotten overly-stylized, and into preaching morality, but for me it didn;t really feel that way.

So I thought this was a good read. It's dark, but not too heavy, and I think that some real care went into this. I'm glad I gave it a read :)
