I've got this to review at the moment, and it is the weirdest and wackiest story I've come across for a long time.
When I get a reading assignment, usually I read a page or two on screen, and then if I decide to continue I will print it off. With this story, I was so intrigued that I couldn't stop reading on screen long enough to print it.
Chris, you'll get your review, but it will take me a while - this one needs a lot of thought. One thing I don't need to think about, though - a story as compelling as this just has to be an 8 x 5.

I've only just discovered this aspect of YWO!
Thank you very much for the generous review - it's always good to hear someone has enjoyed a story :-)

Now isn't that a coincidence? I'll try and find out what my "goat place" on Vancouver Island is called, if it's still there. It was a long time ago, I live back in the UK now. It's a great story, by the way. I'm sure it will do well because it's so different.

Having lived in GA a good deal of my life, I hung out in north GA a lot. It is certainly a 'must see' if you are ever in Clayton, GA. There is also another store in Tiger, GA which is just a little south of the original Clayton store.

I'm going to have to read the story now...

Goats on the Roof was the best place I'd been to for a long time - I'd recommend flying to the USA just for the experience ;-)
