Review of The Book


Sometimes a single voice is enough to create a rich soundscape. A good writer knows how to use certain words over others in telling us a story. Notice how Hans creates tension in the piece as the story builds to a crescendo. The piece does not have a single SFX, but I bet you'll recall that you've heard all the creaks, squeaks, footsteps, echoes and telehone rings. My favorite line in the story "'Help Me' was back by supper". If building tension wasn't enough, Hans ends the story with a bang... or so I thought I heard.
