FreeThinker Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have been reading and enjoying JJ Janicki's" Are You Scared Yet? It is well written and has fascinating characters in hilarious situations. JJ is an entertaining writer and I strongly recommend this story! Are You Scared Yet? Link to comment
TracyMN Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I wholeheartedly agree, Natty is a charming mix of good kid/not-so-much kid, smarter than average but short on experience (that's why kids have parents, right?). JJ has worked hard the whole time I've known him, and it shows. Consistency in colorful characters makes a good story all that much better, and we certainly have that here. Well done, JJ!

Chris James Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yes, well done J.J., a story well written. I have read this work before but am following along once again. With this author there is always something new to find the second or third time thru one of his stories. Link to comment
TracyMN Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Isn't that the truth! I don't have a lot of experience with rewrites (LOL,since what I'm about to say requires having read the original...) but I have to say, I like what he's done with this one. Link to comment
dude Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Good to re-read as J.J. has done a lot of work on it since it was first published... the new and improved AD version is really good. Link to comment
Chris James Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wow...yes, wow! J.J. you have created such a long and involved tale I had to go back and review a few things before I could finish. I think this story counts as J.J.'s magnum-opus for the moment, although such a devious mind probably has others lurking somewhere amidst the cobwebs. The length of a story is not as important as the dedication of the reader to absorb all the details and enjoy them. As fiction writers we are not paragons of literature but more closely resemble clowns in the level of entertainment we deliver. I often stand in awe of the way J.J. delivers that much fun. Wicked humor, subtle emotion and insightful characters all made Are You Scared Yet one of my favorites. Thank you good sir! Link to comment
Jeff Ellis Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 To control a stream of consciousness romp with a bunch of hyperactive and imaginative kids requires great discipline if the reader is to follow along. JJ has achieved that. I take my hat off and salute you sir! Link to comment
Camy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Seeing as how Janicki is responsible for my laughter waking the entire household at 4:00 a.m. and getting me into severe grief - and I'm only on chapter 4 - I'll hold off on effusive laudatory remarks. Link to comment
J.J.Janicki Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Um... sounds really good so far. Even if I'm blushing. A little. `Cause I'm shy. My alter-egos might not be, but most of the time, I am. But anyway, it's made my night. First, the tornado watch we were under didn't produce any near me, then this. Cool! Link to comment
