My Comments
Great story that moves along. I wish that there was a glossary to define many of the words. The beginning could be a bit confusing so it would be helpful to give some background and help with the topic specific vocabulary, but the story picks up quickly. There are a lot of worthwhile discussion possibilities despite the short length. Excellent.
