SUMMARY: With some help from his daughter's teacher, Harry gets 
over losing Susan, his wife.

COMMENTARY: This is a very arousing story.  The author does a 
nice job of showing rather than telling the reader what each of 
the characters are experiencing.  I actually found the opening 
scene so arousing that when the scene comes to a sudden stop I 
had a hard time focusing on the seriousness of the next scene.

This is a well written story.  The author does a nice job of 
tossing the point of view back and forth between Harry and Susan 
and then later between Harry and Colleen, his daughter's teacher.
One problem that I did have with this story was the shift in mood
from the first scene to the second one.  It happens rather 
abruptly.  The second scene also felt wedged in between the first
and third scenes, as if the author included it only because he 
had to.

On the whole I like this story.  It is well written and very 
arousing.  I think it should appeal to those who like stories 
that are of a romantic flavor.  I have given it a Very Good.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 8.5 (out of 10)

         - Arousal: 4/5
         - Editing: 5/5
         - Plot and Characters: 4/5

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good
