Review: It's just okay

I'm a big fan of the short story format, especially when it succeeds in packing an emotional punch within the confines of the format. This was an okay story, but it didn't quite do it for me. I wasn't left with a tingle or a desire for more. There was something synthetic about the voice of the narrator that left me with little satisfaction and no emotional connection. I read this as a tale of redemption, but I'm not quite sure I bought into it. Having said that, I am a big fan of Mr. Bell's overall body of work.
