Damn tough.. Summarize a story you'd never write or read in 5 words.. task master!

Glutton Notes

1. I like the word, but I had to look up the definition: A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favour by flattering influential people.

2. A despicable family is exposed of its treachery... Three despicable families are exposed of their treachery...

3. This sentence confuses me, and "exposed of its treachery" sounds odd. Also, the sentence leads me to believe that the family is searching for the killer, was this intended?

4. To whom do these twisted values belong?

5. Is this the founding father of the city, or of the family?

6. The subject of the sentence is the "woman's world" (it is beset by tragedy); therefore, after the comma you are assigning a father to this world. Also, the word "constantly" is nothing more than bland pie-filler here. ;)

7. What a wordy and clinical phrase! What is success in a relationship?

8. This phrase needs to be re-written. Her heart is left empty with the path of her life?

8. Instead: "a woman is hesitant to deal with her feelings" The -lys make the sentence wishy-washy. ;)

Please note that your longer descriptions contained more filler, rather than more information.
