This should have been a much longer story. I enjoyed this story a lot, but the ending disappointed. This should have been a much longer story.

The writing was good, smooth when the story was working. It was like enjoying a homemade milkshake but continuously hitting chunks of ice that hadn't been completely blended. --John I tend to agree with Robbins (#7) and would say this is a 5000 word story crammed in a 1000 word bag.

An even stranger take on a strange story. Confusing and compelling. Were the three ex husbands the Magi, Maria the Mary figure and the new husband Alvin Stardust?

It's too garbled to follow, and I really don't care about Maria if she was dumb enough to marry an alien. Kinda feel sorry for the kid, though. Weird…not in a good way for me, I’m afraid.

The start alone deserved that. It's good prose, and I got the "Men are from Mars" theme too. Great writing! Well I gave it a FIVE! The start alone deserved that.

Too much of a jump.
