Reviews for The Answer (Awakening III)
LJL chapter 57 . 10/8/2015
Wow.

To call this an amazing find would be an understatement. In my mind your trilogy actually surpassed the book/movie.

I think the most amazing thing is that you managed to maintain a sense of peril throughout almost the entire trilogy despite the fact that both R and Julie die and come back to life multiple times throughout. Most times, when resurrection is used in a story at all (let alone multiple times) it tends to destroy the feeling that there's something at stake. I think it was the juxtaposition of that constant death/rebirth motif with a near-constant sense of powerlessness and horrendous amounts of physical pain and emotional anguish that kept the story from losing its edge. Here are people who know how incredibly awful life can be, and yet they're still afraid of death because it would separate them. Really well done.

I'd be really curious to hear about your own work. Send me a message sometime and we can chat about it.

Regards, LJL

Mwahaha, I found you. *stalks*

For all those who read a story's reviews before reading the actual story (like me), READ THIS EPIC TRILOGY NOW. Freaking amazing. You won't regret it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I had to take a break in this one because of the psycho survivors and all the Rowan Whump. Seriously, that guy could make a career out of dying. And Julie's a sequoia of stability as she supports him while they get pummeled at every turn.
Loved Perry being "just a friend" and love Julie not letting Joshua or Caleb get to her (Caleb was the most snot nosed thing ever; but considering how he was raised and treated I can understand a bit). And I loved how Julie kept referring to them as Twits - because that's a pregnant goldfish and their misogynistic ways made the insult even greater.
I'll keep this one dear to my heart; thank you for such an epic journey with great characters. To me, this is R - Rowan - more than the movie. I know it was supposed to be a fairy tale and wrapped up with a nice happily ever after but then you miss so much of the real story.
A.
P.S. thanks for bringing Mark back. :)
P.P.S. stupid Joshua. I hope that lady drinks him under the table...and I don't even condone drinking. ;)

Oh my gosh I LOVE PERRY!

Liked the last chapter.
Rowan found something he loves to do ... his shop with his music.

Looks like Marcus was suffering with a bit of what gripped Rowan when he realized he was just himself and afraid that wasn't good enough. Glad Rowan tricked him into seeing Emily again. Good ending ... although, I hated to see it end. But good ending non the less!

But how did someone with "zombie fingers", who couldn't open an umbrella, plan to play guitar anyway?
Chadjb chapter 56 . 2/21/2015
Beautiful chapter. Sad to see the story end though ... keep pestering her, Marcus! I know you have more to say ... You always do!
And Red Tie and Red Sash ... nice nod to the book which had R dressed, not in a red hoodie, but in a white button down shirt and red tie.
They just threw the snow globe in there? That is kind of weird. I mean, the snow globe couple and the stereopticon slides all zeroed in on just one thing. R's loneliness and need to connect to a Living person. In the beginning of the movie he questions "Why can't I connect with people?" And the answer was "Because I'm dead."
... Yeah, take that Levine! (If I had made the movie, I wouldn't have admitted that)
BTW, in my imagination, I fancy Rowan and Julie keeping that little snow globe!

I love how this ended. The connection with the first fic your wrote in this series. Fabulous job. This was all so well written and engaging and interesting. Thanks for writing an awesome fic. This fandom needs more love and your fics certainly help with that. I've recommended them to a friend that I just introduced to Warm Bodies, and I don't usually recommend fanfics. Anyway, I love you for writing for this fandom and I do hope you decide to write some more at some point.

Wow. That's the only word I can think of. Just Wow. The last part of Rowan's conversation with Bran ... about how Bran felt invisible again. As if everything revolved around Rowan. And then ... "You saved the world Bran, Good job."
MissShayla chapter 54 . 2/20/2015
Just wanted to say I loved the Ed Sheeran references ;) And also that Rowan finally woke up for real!
Sylvan Princess chapter 53 . 2/20/2015
Sorry I haven't reviewed lately I've been moving house and I have no wifi anymore, the only reason I'm was able to review is because I'm staying at my parents house while the cyclone hits. Anyway this is going on so great, I'm currently biting my nails over whats going to happen. :D

I think this might be my favorite chapter. R meeting Rowan and helping him/himself to heal.
Didn't see any typos but will re-read the chapter tomorrow. Once again, you made my day.
Maybe I will crack open that program we've been talking about and see where the keyboard takes me.
Take care,
Chad
Chadjb chapter 52 . 2/17/2015
Good one! I should have known music would be the key ... even though the idea never crossed my mind. Hoping to see another chapter tomorrow.
I had just about given up on a chapter tonight because it's getting late. But I had to check email one last time ...
Chad :)
SNL 40th anniversary, that's kind of hard to believe it's been that long.
Chadjb chapter 51 . 2/16/2015
Hi again,
Another great chapter. I love the way you get inside your characters' heads and portray dreams, thoughts, and memories as well as action. Many authors stick to 'action' and neglect the internal dialog, thoughts, etc.
You have me stuck in a quandary, however. I am absolutely jonesing for more chapters and to see how the story ends but, at the same time, I don't want it to have an ending. You realize, of course, that when you finish this story you HAVE to start another one, like immediately, right?
Take care, stay warm,
I'm snowed in at the end of my little road,
Chad
Chadjb chapter 49 . 2/15/2015
Great chapter, worth the wait. Funny isn't it, how you can intend to write one thing and the story just flat insists on going somewhere else ... off into the unknown.
Yeah, I agree with you, Rowan popping awake and being fine would have been just too easy. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I'm glad this isn't over yet. I honestly really hate pregnancy fanfics for the most part, but you've done a wonderful job here and I actually am okay with it in this fic. Thanks for being awesome. I can't wait to read what you have in store for the last few chapters.
