Review: Interesting character development
Rating: 4 out of 5

This story is set in the future and is focused on the character of Charlie. He has missed a lot of life. Even though he is 30 years old, he is still a virgin, and apparently has no close friends. He chatters to strangers, boring them until they rudely turn away. His sense of self worth revolves completely around obeying rules, especially punctuality.Somehow he has missed the point. He is excited to be summoned, but never questions the purpose of the summons, focusing on the fact that he was early, not late.The story is a quick read, and at times is a little repetitive, but Charlie himself is repetitive.There is a brief introduction to the future before the story starts that I almost missed. I read it after the story and it would have been very helpful in setting the tone. I make it a point now to go to the cover of each Kindle novel or story before I start to be sure I haven't missed part of it.I give the story four stars. It was good, but easy to figure out. I am going to read another one by Vincent Hobbes "To Read or Not to Read."
