REVIEWS
A reference used in the story itself perfectly describes this download. The reference is to the white rabbit from the story “Alice in Wonderland,” when he is running around shouting,”I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” Imagine this rabbit as a short, awkard little man-a man who is a perfectionist, trying to do everything in life as perfectly as possible. This man is always early by at least 30 minutes! However, one day he is late, and as Amazon’s product description says, this just happens to be the most important day of his life.
The author definitely stresses the character of this man through his nervous attempts to convince everyone he meets that he’s usually much earlier. While the point is definitely driven across to the reader, it’s repeated so much that it becomes a bit too repetitiv Other than that one very mini issue, the rest of the characterization was perfect! The only other critique I would have for this story is that the ending was quite predictable. I obviously didn’t know the exacts of what was going to happen, but I had a general idea.
Overall, though, the story is quite fantastic! It’s very quirky and fun to read; I loved it! I would highly recommend it to nearly anyone as a short yet entertaining read!
