Review: Short for the money

Only 1/3 of this is the story.  The story concept was OK, well executed and mindful of the thinking and actions of little boys.  If I was reviewing the STORY I'd give it 4 or even 5 stars.  But I'm reviewing the entire BOOK.  I'd be angry if I'd paid almost $5 for this short a story (it was free when I picked it up) - I actually went back & re-read the story.  My reading speed is average, and I was done with this in just 8 minutes.  There followed a "sample" of another of his books, which took just 3 minutes to read (and went nowhere), then 9 ads & reviews for his other works, including a repeat of the one provided in the sample, and of this story itself.  Then a few-pages biography of the author, then a list of the groups he's started, then 5 very short quotes (by him) on writing.  I suggest you skip this one and get a lot more for your $5 elsewhere.
