Review - Work Week by Sagittaria Storyline <Brief outline only> A new guy joins an organisation, soon he is talking to the approachable Carol. It seems they share an attitude to work and life. Jeff is a divorced survivor starting afresh. As the week at work progresses their relationship blossoms. What could the end of the week bring? Merits <What was worthy of comment> The 'diary' approach works well and breaks the story into chaplets nicely. The feel of an office is nicely caught, as is their progressively less casual relationship. Demerits <What detracted from the story> For me Wednesday was a little too short. The conversation was totally truncated by the arrival of the food. I understand the use of this device in the context of the story but it's use is a bit harsh for my liking. Atmosphere <How well evolved was the environment> Marks out of 20 <15> Considering the economy of words in this story it is well realised. The office, restaurant and pub all come over as places you may have been. Workflow <How well did the story progress and develop> Marks out of 20 <14> Other than the noted truncation of Wednesday well. I particularly like the old switcheroo at the end. Eroticism <Just how erotic a read is this (erotic, not sexy!)> Marks out of 20 <12> Well the sex is not as 'explored' as it could be, but that is the nature of the tale. The story does expose the vulnerability of the characters and their desperation for human 'contact'. That very vulnerability gains it a higher score. Mechanics <The boring bit, grammar, typo’s etc.> Marks out of 20 <15> Well for a Brit, there are some expressions that aren't quite natural. But I can hardly score it down for that! This is a well written story. Impression <What did I feel having read the story, did I want to read more?> Marks out of 20 <13> Well the story is complete within itself. More of the authors work, yes. I always enjoy a good twist in the tail of a story. It has the feel of a modern morality tale. Total score 69 Yotties out of 100. Readability guide 00-20 must try harder. 20-40 needs development 40-60 readable 60-80 good read 80-99 should read 100 reserved for my stories :-)
