Cole Parker Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I read this story several years ago and was deeply impressed. Fine writing, great characterizations. So happy to see this running here. I'm going to have fun being reacquainted with these guys. C Link to comment

Jeff Ellis Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 When two guys I respect say something is good I feel obliged to follow... and yes, they are right it's a nicely built pair of characters and a neatly and sparsely drawn setting. I shall certainly be looking forward to more. Link to comment
Rigel Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Does the "Take Two" in the title imply that this wonderful story has been revised since I first read it many years ago? --Rigel Link to comment
Graeme Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I believe so... Link to comment
vwl Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Apart from edits and polishing, the major change will be in the relationship between Jake and Robbie's son, making the causes of their conflict more realistic, I hope. Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I must admit whilst I enjoyed the first part of this story it did not grip me the same way as some vwl's other work have. Now with chapter 5 we have moved into a second phase of the story and it seems a lot more edgy and engaging than the first part. I am looking forward to what is to come. Link to comment
bi_janus Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Rereading this one gave me great pleasure. I admire especially the pace, measured and leisurely without losing its impetus. This is an art I desire and have never been able to master. The reworking of the latter part of the story is an inspired improvement, and the desire to make the relationship between Robbie's son and Jake sharper is realized . Thanks to vwl for continuing to develop his work. Il miglio fabbro. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I read this once, years ago, and remember loving it. I'll now begin it again. I have time and eagerness to get to it. So much to do, so little time, but this is one I've been waiting for. c Link to comment
