[Jonathan Rossignol · Rating 2 out of 5]

The story is narrated in the first person through the point of view of the main character. “Mary Lee Whales” reads like a retelling of events like a campfire tale. Within the plot there are a few different mini-stories delivered in different ways that add to the tension of the overall narrative, as the curse becomes more and more believable as new information presents itself. I think “Mary Lee Whales” contained some good ideas that were just poorly executed. All in all I thought “Mary Lee Whales” was okay, but I think it easily could have been better if just a little more attention was given to the details of the plot.
