I liked the tone of the story, as well as the development of Candy's character, but it heavily lacks in plot and theme.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616414857661491731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9878002.post-91687086354276923222007-12-13T10:32:00.000-05:002007-12-13T10:32:00.000-05:00What I liked about the story was Candy's violent f...What I liked about the story was Candy's violent feelings toward El Lobo.
