Review: Nice Story - Could be Outline for a Full-Length Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a nice little novella / short story from CJ West: I could see this plot outline as a full-length novel or even a successful movie or TV miniseries as it was very compelling, plus I could see a future where the scenes and situation as described in this story come true.The author does a great job of quickly getting you into the heads of his characters and fully immersed into the story, and there is really nothing over the top or extraneous here - the dialogue is crisp and on target vs. endlessly droning on for word-count sake.  Just when you think you think you have the ending figured out, West takes a hard right turn and fools you.As I type this review, the Kindle version of this story is 99 cents - it is well worth it and is an enjoyable read.  If the author should take this short to a full-length novel concept, I think it would be very successful.
