ImpressionsIt is an interesting story, describing very vividly the life of a dysfanctional family. It is well written and keeps the reader's interest, and as I was reading it, I knew there had to be a twist. I just didn't know what it was.
Characters The story is quite descriptive. It doesn't stay with only one or two characters, but it presents in a rather eloquent way all of the members. Mom, dad, two brothers. All are unique in their own way. Dad is a wealthy man, who hates his whole family, just as much as they hate him. He decides to punish them by- essentially- not leaving anything for them to inherit, though they all think they will be rich. His wife is clearly staying married to him for his fortune, and his kids spend as much as they can, relying on the fact that he will soon die and they'll get to inherit evrything he owns. All are selfish, bad-mannered and rude, one way or another, with no respect whatsoever.
Development Each character is presented through a dialogue, in which we get to see the character's way of thinking, his faults, his feelings towards the dying man and his expectations concerning the will. There is nothing left unanswered. We also get to see the man's feelings towards the whole family, too. His feelings are justified by their actions.
Notes I liked the twist in the end
Favorite lines"without having to worry that one of you will come in and steal the dust off the window sill.". Cool!
Interesting and grabbing story. Keep writing. Best wishes,
