review 1: The idea for this story was great. Unfortunately, I found the execution less so. I felt the author's development of the people in Bert's life, such as John, was shallow and perfunctory, which was disappointing as these other characters could have given the reader a much deeper insight into Bert and into the reliability of Mira's views of Bert. The dialogue was perhaps the worst part of the story, and struck me as entirely unrealistic. The pacing of the story was also strange. For example, I thought some of the memories could have been a lot shorter, whereas others could have been more fleshed out.In short: Interesting idea, could use more work.
review 2: I picked this up as a "freebie" at Amazon.com. This short story written by Bernard Cox is a quick and ... moreinteresting read.The story centers around a young man who recently lost his wife. His wife was beaten to death by 2 of her math class students for taking an iPhone away from them. Bert becomes focused on a salt shaker that his wife had stolen from a restaurant as a momento. Every time he uses this salt shaker he is pulled into happy memories of his wife.Bert is pulled into a downward spiral to severe depression as this story becomes darker.This is such an interesting short story to read.If you enjoy a well written short story then pick up a copy of this, you will not be disappointed. less
