TARGETED BY TWO NEIGHBORS FROM HELL

Hi Chinisajoy,

Thanks for your honest opinion.

Truth is that the thing never began life with any aspirations to become a book. And I guess it shows. It was more of an account of what transpired with these people over the years.

In fact, the first part was expanded from a more concise report of the overall situation, made out for the police. This probably explains the focus on getting the main gist of the story out as soon as possible, with the details expanded from there. (Not the recipe for a suspense-filled novel, for sure).

Never had anything to do with a book before, either (except to read them) and, obviously, it shows. Willing to learn, though. So, this reference to 'chapter-breaks' isn't too familiar. Could you explain? I'd thought that the list of contents and the significant spacing between chapters was enough of a break, with the heading of each chapter heralding the contents of the said chapter. Just shows how much I know - or don't know.

I guess what this 'book' relies on for interest is the bizarre antics of the antagonists - and, hopefully, the exposure and unraveling of the slanderous lies might have held the interest of some others too. It relies heavily on any interest the reader may have in how far neighbors from hell will go to persecute and even harm their target. And, so I guess it will disappoint the fan of a suspense-novel, for instance, unless he steps out of that mode to focus on the elements just cited. Understandably, some may find that not too interesting.

Nevertheless, if you or anyone here finds that, in switching to the latter mode, the book has even an iota of merit, then please do go right ahead and leave a review at amazon for others of like mind, or mode.

Thanks again guys. I welcome any further comment, of course (i.e the bad ones here, and the good ones at amazon, hopefully - LOL).

Cheers.
