I obtained this book in May from LibraryThing's Member Giveaway but for various reasons only got around to reading it last week. My bad, as I was asked to read and review it as soon as possible.I read it in one sitting - I notice my eReader says it is equivalent 35 pages even if I had to flip through more than this with my screen settings - which is the way short stories and novellas should be read I think.The first half was excellent, setting up the three main characters and their situation up for the latter half where the author asks some big questions, or rather asks the reader to ponder some big questions. The problem is, it seems to drag a bit once we get into the "thinking" part, although I did want to keep reading to find out what happens in the end. Maybe this was because I read it in one go, or read it at 3.00 in the morning when I was exhausted, but couldn't sleep, I don't know.It did keep me interested all the way to the end though, and isn't that the main test of a story?
