I know that I have thoroughly enjoyed the stories so far. I like how the writers have put together this piece and have interwoven the "voices" that are speaking to Sam. I can't wait until the next episode to finally give the rating for the whole story. This is great ladies! Thank you, thank you... more please.
RATING: 9.5

I have to say, this chapter in particular really brought back some memories of my youth; meeting all of the characters, going on the rides, even the monorail English-Spanish announcement.
I'm glad that we're finally starting to find out exactly what's going on with Russ, although it took quite a while to get there. I do understand what the authors are trying to convey about "letting go" and holding onto your faith; I just personally wonder if this story could have been told in half the amount of time, that's all. Don't get me wrong, though... this is still one of the most well-written stories I've read in a while. Looking forward to reading the conclusion.
RATING: 9.0

This was alright, not as action-packed as the previous chapters. But good nonetheless. I am glad to see what is transpiring. Can hardly wait for the ending. Good job!

Another very good part of this story. We finally get to the root of the matter of what happens to Russ (I can already see the why, though it isn't said in actual words). And I enjoy reading more about Disney World. But, to be honest, this isn't my favorite part of the story so far - it's a little slow going. However, I do like how frustrated Sam is at the moment.
Oh, by the way, I did a little research on Part II and found that Al's Bible would have the Song of Songs by Solomon listed as Solomon's Canticle of Canticles and would not be a separate book - Al would have an older Catholic Bible.
Just FYI.
Anyhow, great part and can't wait for the conclusion.
RATING: 8.0

This is an interesting development in the story. We're finding out what happens to Russ and what causes him to do it. Will Sam be able to help him? And what's the voice he's hearing? I can't wait to find out in the conclusion next week.
RATING: 9.0

Well, Sam is finally breaking through to Russ and getting some information about his life. I was expecting another scene of Al with Howie, even if it was brief, but having the whole episode take place in Sam's location was actually a nice change.
We readers are still left wondering why Russ would choose to end his life. You are leaving us anxious to read the next part, that's for sure! I hope we also get to find out what voice Sam is hearing, unless it is meant to be a mystery.
RATING: 8.0
