    Remeber it. An OK Harry/Tonks story. Above average but not great.

    I think I recall poor spelling and writting style but it was long time ago, so I might be wrong.

    Yeah, has some spelling errors, but nothing major, didn't really bother me.

    I just had a quick look at this, I'll have a better look later. Seems all right. Not great, not too crap. Something is bugging me though, the speech marks are all fucked up. It looks like they've used two commas at the start of speech and a speech mark at the end. It looks stupid.

    From Heiko :
    AN: I am not from the UK nor from USA or another country, where English is the main language. I am from Germany so if there are any syntax or grammar errors, please be so kind and excuse it or overlook it. Nobody is perfect! If you want to give me hints about repeated errors or incorrect phrases, feel free to point them out to me. I will read them and make it better next time. Thank you!

    Like I said, I just had a quick look. I haven't even read all of the first chapter yet and for some reason I must have just overlooked that A/N. It's not something that would stop me from reading, it's just something that bugs me a bit when I'm looking at it.

    In most of the mainland European countries that's the way quotes are being used - oppening quote is down at the base-line and closing quote is up, like you would normally use in english language.

    ,,Like this''

    Also, we place commas after the quote:

    ,,Like this", and this.

    Just thought you should know that these are not errors, just the writting conventions in his/hers country ...

    Harry and Tonks relationships are my favorite, so I really liked the story! The whole "Harry is an Unspeakable" is getting pretty old in these stories, but other than that I thought it was pretty good.

    It was a average fic. Interesting, but I didn't like the writing style, and the relationship from what I remeber was a bit fluffy. >_>

    Still a good read if you got nothing to do.

    Good fic, i do agree that the speech marks totally got on my nerves after the first chapter, taking that out was one of the better ideas i have seen so far.

    i lost interest after the 2nd chapter. It doesnt have anythign to really keep you in suspence and want to keep reading. The authors writing style wasnt that great if i remember. again like many others its been awhile since i read this one.

    Yeah i read it too.

    But i find it's a good story.
    I think cause i'm too german, and thats my writing style too. And I'v read his german story.

    He's my favourite german author.

    The half of the german authors are Slash-fanatics *grml*

    We could read more of his story if there was a German translator writer who would write it in English.
