i\'ve been following this story since it began. a very bittersweet ending. you aery ery insightful in your resolution of the two. thank you for a lovely story!

In relation to the A/N at the beginning of the chapter, if you are such an atheist, then why on Earth were you celebrating Passover?! Kind of contradicts yourself there..

Well, I don\'t care what other people say. I loved this story. It was definately a dark tale. I don\'t know how accurate that some of the stuff was, but you know what. It\'s fiction and so you can make anything true in fiction. Your writing is wonderful. It\'s better then wonderful! You\'re gifted that\'s for sure! I hope you continue writing HG/SS fics. I will certainly look for more of your work!

Just a note to let you know that I am just very behind & am going to be reading the last 3 chapters when I get a block of tim sit sit down & finish the story!!! Now that I know that it is finished I want to be able to read the rest in one sitting & just haven\'t been able to get enough time:( Hoping to get the time to finish it in the next few days!!! Deb >^..^<

I very much enjoyed your story--in truth I actually read the entire thing through today, mostly because I find reading stories that way helps me to not confuse them with other on-going stories.

The people who tell you that writing about difficult issues is wrong/bad/otherwise awful--I envy them, because their lives are clearly filled with the bubble-gum stuff most people\'s lives lack. Let them live in their bubbles of illusion and keep writing. Reality is reality, without room for wishful subjectiveness.

Right, so apparently I\'ve been cut off...

To continue: I liked the \"Jewishness\", though I\'m a bit biased, being Jewish myself...the parallel drawn between the Nazis and the Death Eaters is an obvious and logical one. I would like to say that not all Ashkenazic Jews use the distorted Hebrew (the letter \"saf\" does not exist and I find it very difficult to pray with people who say \"Yisgdal. at at least not in America. I can\'t speak for European Jews, but all the Eastern European Jews I know use the \"saf.\" (Granted, that refers to about twenty people.)

You write extremely well for someone who speaks English as a second language. You have better grammar than most people who speak English as a first language (I\'ve found that to be the case usually), and your knowledge of poetry is amazing. I\'ve always liked the idea of Snape being a literature nut, and your portrayal of him as quoting verses frequently is something I very much enjoyed.

I also find it interesting that you\'re somewhat attached to the traditions of the Jewish people yet so astranged from the Jewish God. I\'m sure in questioning God\'s role in the Holocaust you received the answer, \"We cannot understand God,\" and I\'m sure it was just as unsatisfactory for you as it was for me. But I\'ve found that no matter how much you ignore God, he(she? it?) never stops talking to you.

Happy end of Passover, great job on the story, and please keep writing. I look forward to reading more of your work.

just wanted to say, this is a wonderfull story, it brings back a lot of memories
a MUST read, I say..

thanks.

I really enjoyed this story. I am a little sad to see it over.
Please write something else in the future. If you so wish.
It\'s been quite a ride. Thanks for saving me a seat.
Cheers.

Just wanted to put in a quick note to say how much I have truly enjoyed reading BLooDL. It hasn\'t been easy reading, and certainly hasn\'t been comfortable reading in places, *but* I have enjoyed it all immensely.

I also live in what used to be a war zone, where people took machine guns to school buses full of children not so very long ago. Just because it isn\'t comfortable reading doesn\'t make it unnecessary - if anything it makes it more necessary.

Thank you
