Well, everyone tries different things. While I found Virgin somewhat labored, this is a story with depth and humor and humanity. The voice is honest, a real human being, real emotions, reflections on the situation, entirely believable and moving. A lot of critics dismiss the first person, present tense as being passe or self-indulgent. I've found that it is often the most revealing voice. If MM De Voe does more of this type of writing, I would most definitely look forward to reading it. Funny that the same writer did the Virgin 244 story. Well, everyone tries different things.
