Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

140 pages for me. I'm following it better and enjoying it more now.

I almost finished INSORT last night, but it got to midnight and I had to stop 20 pages short. I will probably be giving it a better mark than you might expect.

I was struggling to stay awake reading 7DoEH last night. It was fairly daft. I had to go back several pages before I knew where I was.

I have finished INSORT. I’ve gone through a range of feelings towards it ranging from enjoyment to irritation, settling, in the end, on indifference.

I'll give a spoiler-free preview of the way my feelings towards 7DoEH proceeded. It has 60 chapters.

Ch 1-10 - 10/10 - what a total original - brilliant
Ch 11-20 - 9/10 - more twists and turns. Loving this.
Ch 21-30 - 8/10 - okay, that's a bit odd. But this is still great
Ch 31-40 - 7/10 - hmmm, a few misgivings but I want to see how this ends
Ch 41-50 - 6/10 - this is getting a bit tedious now.
Ch 51-60 - 5/10 - oh. That it, is it? Preposterous.

I am *very* disappointed with this book. It's a brilliant concept, but... well, it's not badly executed as such but he clearly had no idea of how to end this when he started.
