Better than good, great story. And the author makes and it's interesting point about a writer's personal style; that everyone's got one. Do you find that most writers both inexperienced and experienced, have one particular style of writing, or that they can switch between a few?
And I loved that movie about Stephen Glass... it astounds me that something like that could even happen.
Sorry about the crazy second sentence, my voice activated program gets a little out of control at times.
