Humorous and unique premise.
I would have loved to read more.

I tried to keep a sober face while critiquing your work to myself, as death and dying are sobering topics unless one finds mirth in the loss of life, despite the fact that loss is normally accompanied by grief. Having said that, I must confess I couldn't hold back the laughter as you proceeded, tongue-in-cheek, to lay the groundwork for your young protegonist's death and subsequent rebirtth as a berfuddled ghost. Your easy conversational style and realistic dialogue gave your work finesse. Thank you so much for the fun read.

Your writing style is very impressive, dialogue are realistic with vivid charachters and narrative is at great pace.

Your narrative voice is very dry (I mean dry humour, not dull!) and your dialogue had me chortling away. I like Eccles as the long suffering straightman dealing with the 'would-be-ceasar'.

Highly starred.  I keep telling people I'm going to shelve them too.  I genuinly am, I've just only had the current 5 up for a few days!  This will totally be going up on the next round!</div>]]></description><link>http://www.authonomy.com/books/43390/rich-pickings-for-ravens/#comment_868065</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:49:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment from TheIndiePedant - 15/04/2012 16:14:34</title><description><![CDATA[<div style='float:left'><img src='http://authonomy.com/images/avatar/Authonomy_Avatar_291220111919383.jpg'></div><div style='padding-left:10px'>Thanks, Milly.

I had thought about starting it at Chap One, but hopef it'll come clear as to why I didn't if you choose to buy it on Amazon and read on. I'll wait to hear further feedback before I decide whether to revise the current edition. Also I think I could delete one umbrella, but I'm otherwise happy with it - large umbrellas irk me, and it seems I REALLY wanted to get that across... :)

I'll return your kindness and have a squizz of your novel!

I was quite happy reading that and I definitely need more.
But here's something that meandered through my mind as I was reading...
I would be happier if the whole thing started with Caesar.  I found the first upload confusing and nothing really happened to make me want to read on (obviously I'm very glad that I did).
In the first paragraph where Caesar is wandering down the street you mention the big umbrella three times.  By the time I got to the end of the paragraph I was saying yeah yeah he has a huge umbrella I get it.
But apart from those two things I love it and want to read more.   I adored the thoughts going through the policeman's head  as he dealt with his idiot superior and I loved the little asides about his uncomfortable underwear, very humanising.
Apart from a couple of missed comma, I found that it read with a nice flow and I didn't find anything to stumble over ... 
Obviously these are just my impressions as I was going through it, please feel free to ignore everything :-)
