5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Story!

The story grabbed me from the very first paragraph and kept me until the ending. The character of Spoon was so real life to me. I look forward to reading more from this author!

3.0 out of 5 stars Review for free story.

Review for free story. This short story in my opinion left you hanging at the end and was lacking a finish to go with the rest of the story

2.0 out of 5 stars Great topic and era of time
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017
I received a copy of this short story for a review. I am interested in this particular material, however this short story failed to get me involved enough to think about reading a whole book this slow. I will watch for this book, but really hope for a livelier start to the story. A great book is lime a movie in the readers mind, this however is like a slide show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life of Cap Be More Than Tough
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017
I assume this story is based on truth. Having spent many years in Japan and Korea after WWII, this story is all too familiar.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Awareness of the Less Fortunate
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017
Author Buxton does an excellent job of deepening our awareness of those less fortunate, such as war orphans' unpopular means of survival. Not planning or wanting to use their bodies to earn survival, some were able to leave that life behind because of the selfless sacrifice of others. A sad but uplifting start to a potentially enjoyable series of stories worth reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for me
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017
This short story failed to engage me. It was a slow starter and disappointing ending. Great material to use for a story but some work needed. I received advanced copy for a review.

4.0 out of 5 stars War and it's victims
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017
I received this short story for my honest review. I enjoyed the short story, the survival of war victims trying to live on their own; forgotten by their government and helped by a few Army soldiers and the base medical staff.
