Meh.  I read this book.  It was nice.  A similar plot to many books - books that I happen to really enjoy.  So overall the plot was fine.  I thought Boone was a little light on the characterization.  His personality was pretty....lacking.  And you know, maybe all of his quirks would be revealed in the other books in the series, but as another Amazon reviewer pointed out, $0.20 a page is pretty steep.While I understand the marketing strategy behind releasing the first book of a series for free and then charging for the rest (and often fall victim to buying the complete series...) I think it is important to remember that in the day of the ebook, book values have changed.  So I either suggest pricing the other books in the series a little more reasonably based on the number of pages they contain, or even group them together into a package deal.  I'm all for supporting authors and buying their material, but I also know that these days there are thousands of books at my fingertips, and why should I choose to read this short story when for the same price I could read a whole novel.I am not trying to suggest that a short story isn't worth the same as a novel, but if an author is trying to suck a reader in to buying the whole series, it may take a little bit more umph than this story had.So do I recommend this story? Yes, I do.  Would I like to read the rest of the series? Yes, I would.  Will I read the rest of the series? Probably not unless a package deal that I feel is a fair price comes along.
