Summary

After losing a game of Scrabble to his wife, Peter lets her call the shots for a while.

Commentary

The first one-third of the story was great. It was tense, suspenseful, and arousing. The characters were not great, but they seemed realistic.

The last two-thirds of the story, unfortunately did not measure up. A new character is introduced, William, and boy is he a talker. He drones on and on. Peter's narration leads me to believe that he was not too terribly wild about William either.

The author did such a good job with the first one-third of the story. I was shocked by the last two-thirds. The whole mood changed. The change was a horrible choice, in my opinion.
