The story started well.  It was told in the first person; the narrator won $50 million in the lottery but became bored.  He wakes at night and is summoned by another being.But the story didn't sustain that level.  There was an animal attack (sort of) just thrown in there for no reason, with no "payoff" in the story. Several pages were spent with the main character mulling the other character's offer, and never once did it occur to him to think "if this seems too good to be true, it probably is" or to ask the one obvious question: why are you offering me this?And there was no twist to the plot.  Probably 2/3 of the way through,m it was obvious how the story would have to end, at least in general terms.The author uses English well, and the conversations sound natural.I'd give this three stars (okay but I've no desire to read it again),but I'm deducting one because about a third of the file was commercials for "other Kindle books you might like".  I scrolled through them out of curiosity, and to my surprise the pages were there a second time, just in a different font.  I know it's hard forf a Kindle author to get noticed, but this was by far the bulkiest set of commercials I've seen in a Kindle book.
