Wildfires - Comments

I love Ellen Hopkins. And I loved this story. Absolutely amazing!

I can't believe I haven't commented on this already. This story is absolutely amazing.
I'm going to skip the grammar and layout. Okay, okay, the layout was super pretty and fit together nicely, and the grammar was flawless. But moving on!
I love the poetic free-verse style. It's so unique and different, and it provides a whole new way to look at the story. I can't even describe the quality of the story. Your writing is spectacular, and I love how it's showing the story - not telling it.
You're a wonderful writer. I hope you write more soon. <33 I can't wait to finish this!

That was probably the best, most well-written story of that style I've read. AMAZING. Poetically spectacular.

Instead of writing an essay that I can finish fairly quickly, I decided to read this whole story in one sitting. I've been meaning to read this story when you first posted it and/ or announced that it was finished, but I never did. I don't know why I haven't read this before because I read that this was a good story. And people were right. This story was completely fantastic!

I love how it was written - in poetic verse. I don't find many stories with structures (verse) like this one so I was happy when I found out that this was. I read Crank and fell in love with her writing style because it is new, well for me it was, and it was just really fun to read no matter how sad the story was.

So naturally, I fell in love with this story from the very beginning. Everything about this story is wonderful. The characters, the plot and especially the ending. I love the ending. It was so happy considering her life has been hard and she has been through so much. Gah, I don't know what else to say about this other than it was magnificent.

This is f*cking amazing. Amazing.

Wow. This was...amazing. Truly amazing. The drama, the intensity of everything that followed up after Autumn's death. Iris' thoughts, her decisions, all of her conflict towards herself, a...inner conflict, my teacher would always say.

I get the nagging, blood-drawing feeling that she's much prettier than she's always saying. That she's ugly, fat? It's horrible to read that. It's sad. That's what I love about this, too. You don't hold back from saying point blank the things that need to be said. Everything's frank, right to the point where if you'd say that in real life, speak the words out loud, people would call you insensitive or mean.

This was aw-maaaa-zinnng. The story seems like Iris's thoughts all pressed together in some type of diary entry, her world inside of herself, her fears, her hopes, all together to create this magnificent story. I truly enjoyed reading it. I don't regret coming back to read. You did an amazing job. I congratulate you.

I enjoyed reading this. It was intriguing, and figuring out who Ana and Mia were, as well as the situation with Autumn... well, it gave readers a reason to keep reading. Very well done. I do like the open ending. It leaves a lot more to think about.

i would like to say, this is such a moving story. i want to print it and make it into a mini book (crediting you of course) i just love this. well done

(*Squeal*) I can't believe it's over. I got excited when you updated, but reading the first few lines, I had a feeling you were wrapping it up. Noo.
That was a perfect ending, btw. :D A deliciously bittersweet ending. I'm glad Iris finally found the confidence to move on. Last two paragraphs were my favourite :)

Great, great ending. :) I love how you kept it open like you did, definitely the best route for the story. But overall, an amazing, original story. Awesome job! :D

This was a very good story. I think it would be very meaningful to girls who have delt with anorexia and other eating disorders and self-esstem issues.
-- I just found it a few days ago, sorry I didn't comment sooner.

I don't know how to tell you just how amazing the chapter is.
You definitely have a talent for choosing the right words.
It makes me want to reread it and reread it because it's so good. xD
Ah.may.zing. lol!

Another amazing chapter of course ;)
And I agree with the previous comment, even though I've never been anorexic, it's seems like it's written out of experience. o_e
Btw, I'm expecting an update within the next three days. Just sayin. LOL

I'm not sure if this is based off truth, or if it's entirely fictional.
But it's definitely struck a raw nerve.
I used to suffer from anorexia myself- I'm not proud of it, but I'll never deny it. So this was very close to the bone. But it was intoxicating, it lured me in so easily, and I couldn't stop reading.
Well done.

Ohh, I forgot to comment on Ch.26 D:
Anyways, ahhh...Ch.27 was like a bittersweet... illusion of Iris's demise! :O Awesome word choice..I could almost feel her internal struggles; I empathize her...poor girl. When will Ana go away?! She's just provoking her, you know? If Ana was out of the picture, then Iris probably wouldn't feel as much revulsion and life would be much simpler, you know? Ai adai.
LOL. Can't wait to read more ;)

So I read the first line of Ch.25, and I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. . .then I remembered! Katy Perry's song: Firework. "You don't have to feel like a waste of space. You're original, cannot be replaced." :)
Anyways, what's up with Ana?!? It was almost like a reply to Iris in the last chapter. I still think Iris has gone crazy.

Good update. I'm guessing that Ana is making her feel that way toward Autumn. I hope she can get over this.

Another amazing chapter!
I just love how when I read this story, I feel like I'm living the character's life.
This chapter is especially surreal..Iris is getting crazy!
Ana is being cruel, and Mia is just a bitch. I love it! ♥

And yay, page claim!
