The Fringe Benefits of Friendship

The author sums up seven friendship fringe benefits that you can get from your friend or friends in situation where you are out of control of yourself or the situation.  The first benefit is to claim that you are so drunk that you didn't know what had happened.  The second benefit is to put the excuse on yourself and your friend that both parties was passed out unconscious and are held responsible of what happened between them.  The third and fourth benefits are identical. When you or your friend are highly agitated and out of your or their mind, you or they are not to be blamed on the selfish act you or they did.  The fifth one is only a kind of social etiquette when you are leaving your friend to say goodbye.  The sixth and seventh are quite disgusting in taking advantage of your new friend when you meet your ex in the street or social function even though with the avoidance intention.  The eighth is always to take the advantage of the circumstance to kill your friend. The ninth is to tell lies to their parents about your friend when you have the chance to meet them.  The tenth is to get a kiss to allow them to appear in your blog.

I am very furious to say that these are all rubbish and damned shameful to take advantage of your friend's trust by claiming these are benefits that you can get on the fringe of the emotion derailment from your own and your friend's sobriety and clear mind.  In the end, you end up no friend at all.  You can't count your friends on what fringe benefits you can get from them but only their friendship and mutual trust.

Will Their Time Run Out Soon

The whole chapter is devoted on the description of the process of falling in love, the sensation they felt toward each other and the emotion they showed when they met at the doorstep of the hotel room.

One spelling mistake unintentionally appears in the last dialogue - "Just get in and stop complaining, I will hold your hand it (if) that makes you feel better."  Some of the punctuations are not clearly done but maybe it is a way to write a love story to be more expressively described.  The reminder at the end is for the reader to give him review.  A clever move.

Good Meets Bad

The whole chapter described how lovely his wife, Charlie, could be in her pregnancy and how deeply Brax loved her.  The author also made a very deeply moving sensational description of Ruby, Brax's daughter, who was grown up as his wife's sister and was to be revealed to the truth.  There is one intricacy in the story involving rivalry between the gang, "Riverboys" and the local police sergeant.  I am sure it is very interesting to read on.

Unfortunately, one spelling is wrong, of for off, in "before feelings his arms around her sweeping her of (off) the toilet floor."  I think blog language structure could be written differently from those of the classics with no clear distinction between main clause and subordinate clauses.  But as in two of the English sayings taken from the inscribed picture, it is "more in it than an empty herring; there is more to it than meets the eye."

Fatal Attraction

The story was revolving round two lovers of different background, Brax the Gangster of Riverboys, Charlie the Police Sergeant.  She was warned by her stepmother and dad of the predicament she was in and tried to persuade her to give up.  But she entirely surrendered herself to her desire for wanting Brax in spite of her daughter Ruby and Casy, Ruby's boyfriend being in the hand of their foe.  Brax was trying everything he could to protect Charlie and was standing in the dilemma, giving up the love for the glory of being the leader of the gang or surrender all the collateral to Brodie, his secondhand man.  The plot went on.

It was a very intriguing, and antagonizing encounter and the very demoralizing love affair between Charlie and Brax.  They should not be attracted to each other in the first place on the very obvious circumstance that they belong to two different worlds, as the author points out.  But climax after climax can be generated with these intertwining threads of emotion and social justice in the eyes of the readers of common behavioral acquiescence standard.  I do hope the author could be more lenient when he(she) continues pick up the thread how the Brodi and the gang are treating Ruby and Casy.  After all, they are the scapegoat, innocent sacrifice to the rivalry between Brox and Brodi.  So be merciful, please.  It was tragically written with only only one spelling mistake and the plot follows the old treacherous plot for all love stories.



Unexpected love

It was only the introductory chapter, describing why Emma comes to Australia with her best friend Lindsey and what happened to them on their first landing in the little diner in Summer Bay in New South Wales, Australia.  A clear description on the calling off of their wedding because of her fiancee's infidelity with his secretary.

The author gave a clear introduction in a plain forward description, even mentioning Emma's sexual preference toward Charlie, a police sergeant, and her friend Lindsey's forthright sexual attraction toward the police officer Angelo on their first encounter in the diner where they had dinner with Ruby (Charlie's young daughter), her boyfriend Casey, Xavier and his girlfriend April whom they met on the beach.   Actually it is an interesting story to read on as the writer tempts the readers with two clues to follow.

Spelling mistakes appear in: sectary for secretary (obviously not deliberate), of cause (twice) for of course, where a bout for where about, miles (proper name) for Miles, and so on.  Some punctuations were wrongly placed or missed.
