Talk:The Shoe Tree/@comment-5269370-20150603105335

It's a good story. Wonderfully written, and I love the whole protective rough-around-the-edges type dad with his sweet inquisitive daughter.

Con: I can't really understand the connection between Mr. Smiles and The Shoe Tree. Why shoes? Why on a tree? What's his story? There's a lot that needs to be explained, and that excessive mystery makes for confusion rather than suspense, unfortunately.

Pro: Description of Mr. Smiles. Fantastic. Nailed it.

Overall I'd say 7.0/10
