The story was decent and very believable actually. The narrator is spotless, the use of language also quite good. There was a recent article in the New York Times about prisons in some Latin American country that pretty much depicts the same situation, though less graphic. This story certainly exaggerates a lot of things, but that's what you would expect from a ex-con. (9/10)

May this poor reviewer ask a question: how the hell do you do this? I was confortable in my 'no processing stories' chair and you had me reading one - and liking it. I also had 'no prisons' chair and here I am reading one ,likeing it - and writing a damn review!
I gues the merits would be: colorull ahm, language, a sense of inside know-how (WITHOUT boring descrptions, thak you), total irreverence and a shinig example of non-PC. And flashes of awful kinky humor ("figured a bare mama isn't much different than a mama bear").
stylictic flaw: towards the end that I-take-no-shit and delivry-in-punches gives way to leisury descriptions with eleborate and inaproiate vocabualary (not that I really minded)
But all this reviweing is, in rocco's word's: a bunch of crap.
This stoy contains it's own review, quote: Okay, now I know you're probably sitting at home playing with your dick or whatever, thinking something like, "Hey, this is a pretty good story, but it's all bullshit."enquote.
Ok so this isn't exacty going into my 'red hot handle only with asbestos gloves' file but very enyojable, from whatever perpective. (8/10)

- Once again, thanks. I always appreciate your insightful reviews. I think the stylistic issue you addressed was probably due to the fact that I'm working on several projects at once, and apparently had difficulties getting my mind to concentrate on just one at a time. I'm like that, though...I'm actually writing three or four chapters of New World simultaneously, jumping from one to the other as a thought strikes. Must be the ADD? Oh, yeah...and I wasn't completely satisfied with this story, either...but what the hell?

Interesting topic, but not easy to read. Also it shows the crux of first-person narratives: They easily lose credibility. (6/10)

- Really? so you rather believe in a story thats narrated in third person omnescient narrator? Believing that a true story could be narrated by God?

Yes it was a very good story from the perspective that you write it from. (7/10)

- Interesting that both reviews thus far qualify their comments with "from the perspective" it's written from. Question: What other perspective would have made it more enjoyable for you?

- Thanks. I wasn't completely happy with it, and a bit disappointed when I noticed the typos after it was posted. However, I wanted to get something posted this week.
