Reviews for Visions of Joe

    In this chapter, luv, you have written some of the best scenes of this wonderful story. I probably read the section where Joe comes back physically and emotionally depleted a dozen times. That scene is so heartrending yet so beautifully written. My heart literally skipped a beat at the 'vision' of Joe almost broken...but not quite. The plans for the armor and the eventual showdown with the police see him coming alive again, but Evie knows he is tortured. When she confronts him we see a side of Joe that makes the reader ache for him. As for Aaron's betrayal, well the hurt there is surely the worst thing that Joe has had to face. I can't tell you how sad I am that this story is nearing the end. It is without a doubt one of the most beautifully written stories I have ever read:)

    Another great chapter, Nuit. I love how you've taken those snippets from the newspapers and woven in that bit of humour, God knows there's not that much to laugh about at this point... The Telegraph Office was a nice touch too (that belt coming off - guh!), and how Joe finally let Evie in. The people all helping them with the armour, joining in 'the cause', the way you describe the emotional impact on Joe of Aaron's betrayal. Powerful.

    You know, it was with this chapter that it hit me how fitting your story title truly is. Visions of Joe couldn't be a more perfect way to describe this story, the observing of Joe through Evie's eyes, the haunting images of a young man tortured by friendship, duty, addiction and love. I can't praise you enough for bringing the real Joe into this story, the haunted, desperate Joe and not just the cocky womanizer we saw in the film. The scene where Evie finds him suffering from withdrawal is so painful and real it makes you ache. But it's the conversation with Aaron that had me wanting to weep. When he tells Evie to take Joe and go away you can't help but love Aaron even though we know that his misguided loyalty to Joe will be disastrous later on. You've created a tale so full of real and vivid 'visions' that very few people can achieve and you deserve the highest praise for this beautifully moving story. Bravo, my friend, another brilliant chapter has left me desperate for more:)

    I have to say that I love reading this series. I check back every time I'm online for an update. It's just so well written. There are times you really can visualize everything you describe in the story. Thanks for writing such a great fic.

    My head is spinning right about now after this chaper. The uncertainly, passion. I do love the way that you've characterized Ned. Brought him in nicely without ever giving up the focus on Evie and Joe.

    I'm sorry, I can't write a proper review. But, I just wanted you to know that I read it and loved it.

    What a gripping chapter! Brilliant job bringing Joe's opium addiction into the story; the film glossed over that fact which is a shame since it was a part of who he was. Evie is so head over heels she is willing to give up her freedom, over look the opium and probably just about anything else but Joe doesn't take advantage of that:) He's honest with her and never once tries to make her do anything she doesn't want. Evie breaks your heart though because even though she has become a woman in every sense she is still very innocent and has no idea how terrible it will all end up. Beautiful, lyrical writing, heartbreaking angst. Bravo:)

    Well here's my second try, let's hope it won't get swallowed up this time...

    "You know where we are headed" - oh how I wish I didn't! Another brilliant chapter, Nuit. You just capture it so well, the bleak weather, the undercurrents in the relationships, the growing sense of inevitability about things to come. It's breaking my heart, that's how good it is...

    This is gut-wrenching honey.

    Hard to write I know and hard to read as well. My first expererience at getting to be pissed at joe - which I think is crucial - and then get to fall in love with him all over again. This is never going to be a bed of roses - alot of thorns here. Their life hurts. Ned is wonderful - I can here his voice lullying me to sleep in that cave and keeping me warm; feel Lily's sense of panic and anxiety and generosity and deep deep love.

    Very special.

    Better late than never;) That refers to both my late review and the intimate relationship between Joe and Evie:) I've been waiting for these two to really get together from the minute you started writing this story and I have to say it was truly worth the wait!! The passion and the intensity of their relationship steals your breath away. Evie willingly gambles her life by becoming involved and the way you write it there's not a woman reading this story who wouldn't jump at the chance to ride off with Joe Byrne;) I know I sound like a broken record but it's the little things, the details, the language, that make this story so real, so believable. Your painstaking attention to details and the setting are very impressive; you have the reader in the bar, sitting around the fire, riding over the dusty plains. I'm anxious to see how Evie will fit in to the rest of the story since with the mention of Hare it's obvious we're heading towards the inevitable confrontation. More please????

    Again and again, I just LOVE the voice that you've lended to Evie.

    Erm...but...my try for real feedback... =/ I'm just no bloody good at this. I like the way she felt so at ease with the Kelley Gang and the way the entire town just about set themselves a glow with pride at being able to help them along. :D

    Wonderful, nuit, as always. I thought for sure Evie would have been jealous, but I should have known. I just love this character.

    I could just see them all, sitting around that fire, drinking brandy and telling stories... I love the way you make it so real, I feel I'm really listening to Evie telling me the story. Breathlessly awaiting more and dreading what's coming...
