I understand author's will try and reel readers in by ofering cheap or free books in a hope we will then purchase follow up books. In this case I do feel slightly annoyed as a) this in effect is more of a preview as opposed to a book (trust me - it is short) and b) it is not a stand alone book with the cliffhanger ending leaving me feeling very frustrated.There are three further books in the series, each quite short I believe, and each $2.99.  Leads to me having to pay $9 for a complete story.  I have decided not to do so.With regards this particular intro (I refuse to call it a book) it has great potential.  A main character who has an opportunity to avenge the bullying he has been receivng for years, but is trying to maintain a sense of proportion as well as 'baddies' who you are willing to pay for their actions. The writing is okay, but does appear rushed.  In the space of a few pages you experience a few events which could have been described more comprensively. I find this ironic, as I have read plenty of books that were just drawn out short stories.  This is a reverse of those and could easily have been doubled in length to give both the story and characters justice.Recommended?Yes if you understand you will be expected to purchase follow up chapters in order to get the whole story.  It is not even a stand alone book, but as already stated, is more of a teaser or sample of what is yet to come.
