A Light Hearted Read

Editor: Sonja Nitschke
March 9, 2009

After reading all of the available chapters, I must say that I’ve liked what I’ve read.

It’s light hearted.  The writing style is engaging.  There are evil, creepy villains and curses.  In short, it has the trappings of a perfect fantasy story. 

When I read the description of the novel, I was expecting a Penelope-ish type of story, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the story took a much darker turn.  I won’t spoil the plot, but I am looking forward to see how everything is resolved.

The relatively short chapters and engaging writing style make it the perfect read at the end of a long, hard day.  At fifteen short chapters, there isn’t a lot of story, but it’s fast moving and I don’t hesitate to click the "next" link.

P.S After writing this review, I explored the rest of the site and discovered the Snapshots page which is a collection of flash fiction.  Like the main story, I also found these an enjoyable read with little twists at the end.

Do not miss this incredible novel! A Girl Called Snort is the best novel I have read on WFG so far. It is fun, light, entertaining and contains all the elements I require for enjoyable online fiction.

For those who have not yet read this (and what are you waiting for?) A Girl Called Snort is the story of a girl cursed with the face of the pig. Her efforts to free herself of the curse are written out in neat, short sections that are neither too long or too short. Add to this a sensible navigation system and comfortable background/font this book is great for long stretches of reading.

I highly recommend this book and suggest you check it out right away!
