Comments on Bad by Gary Brooks
- You are impressively skilled in using perspective and character, and the language is colourful without being garish. You make the mundane seem powerfully real, and I found myself wincing at certain points. There is a similar party scene in Melvin Burgess' teen sex novel 'Doing It' which aims for the same effects, but is far less successful. The story made sense at its stopping point, but could easily have carried on. Keep writing.
