Comments for "Tommy" read by author Kelly Ruth Winter

Insightful

Tommy's story rings true....all the stories of the kids we once knew and how radically their lives changed.

awesome

your story was really original and very good to read.

Best stuff ever on public radio!

I think that our friends have already covered it here, but this is great audio. Finally a reason to listen to public radio! Great job, Amy!

Outstanding!

This is an absolute jewel, vidid and evocative. It's amazing how clearly the characters are drawn in so few well-chosen words.

Great Stuff

Wonderful what Winter does in capturing the tragedy of a life that could have been so different as witnessed by the parallel-but-not course of the narrator's life. Really good!

powerful nugget

It's great to hear how much an author can convey and a listener can feel in 3 short minutes. The brief moments of music added to the tension and overall appeal as well.

Wonderful!

These would make a fantastic addition to NPR. Three minute shots of creative emotion, so good for the soul.

Powerful Story

Good Stuff. Love the 3-minute format and production. Give us more!

Wow

Can't wait to hear more from this author!

Great Storytelling

I like the line, "There's no background check for amunition." It's a great metaphor for the author's sense of helplessness.

Chilling Tale

The great authors say if the story moved you, moved you at all in either a positive or negative way – then the author did their job.
I found the story disturbingly graphic and yes, I was moved.

Astounding

Simply not possible to do more with a three minute story than Kelly Ruth Winter did with "Tommy." Brava!
