How the riots have affected Forney

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, It was bad, People were looting, & just in general being crazy. It was almost like something out of a apocalyptic movie.

On to the elephant in the room, which is how has the blackout has affected Forney. Well honestly, it was pretty bad, well it was for the 1st day that is.

I think after the initial shock of not being able to access the internet people were OK, actually I think after the shock fear was the feeling that set it. What would make me have that assessment? Well I didn't see many people out after the 1st day, and the the main things I can take from that are that they were either satisfied, (with the stealing, looting, etc.) fearful, as i said, or they plain just stopped for no reason.

My overall assessment is that the city has not suffered anything that it can't recover from.

A business owners wrecked store from the looting.

Advice Column:

Dear Carolyn, my son is always busy, the only time I get to be with him are the rare times he eats dinner with me.

I guess my question is how do you think I should get him to spend more time with me. He comes home gets his laptop and goes to his friends house, by the time he gets home, I m already tired and am going to bed.

Sincerely mom.

Dear mom, It sounds to me like you need to take some initiative. Talk to him, force some conversation if you have to, or set a curfew. These are all things that you could do to spend time with him. If none of these help it might be you.

Maybe he has a problem, if that's the case just ask him to open up.

Sincerely Carolyn.

Brain Jack Review:

5/10

Disappointing? no. Enticing? ehh. Does the writer know his stuff? Probably.

The blunt review is this, I didn't like the story, but I liked how he knew his stuff or at least he probably does.

What do I mean by "does he know his stuff?" I'm referring to the excessive dialogue about the hacking. I don't think i could make up 100 pages worth of hacking dialogue so that only leave me the assumption, "he knows his stuff." (3 points)

Why do I give him a 5/10? Because for 1, a cheesy ending, but not expected so there's 2 points. On the overall plot, 0 points, a hacking film? Not my favorite style. Personal opinions aside, i think that he is a decent author, but i do not personally like his style. Its basically just a generic government chase film about some hackers. Sure some detail here and there, but. I don't personally think that its that great of a film, that's all.
