Review: Pathetic Life
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 09 7, 2012
After seeing the reviews for this story, most of which were quite favorable, I was looking forward to spending a pleasant half-hour or so reading it.Initially, I found the plot interesting, but I expected the character to grow, to mature over the story. That didn't happen and eventually I came to despise the character.What had started out as a believable modern day tale soon became hard to swallow. The character's actions and self-reflections didn't ring true. That's not to say they don't happen these days, but I just couldn't buy them.Before long I found myself not carrying what happened, halfway wishing the character would commit suicide to end his pathetic life.If the character had had a sympathetic side or had shown any true growth, I would have rated the story higher than 1.5 stars.
