Review: Liked the story, but $3.00 for 30 pages is kind of a rip-off.

I really liked this Divergent novella told from Four's perspective. There wasn't really anything wrong with it...I was just a little disappointed by how short it was. It was definitely more of a short story than a novella. I spent $3.00 for what turned out to be only 30 pages, and I feel a little bit ripped off.But I enjoyed getting to go inside Four's brain and see a little bit of his transformation from the abused child to the strong man that Tris met on her first day as a Dauntless. Even though you learn what he's gone through in Divergent, and experience some of what he's gone through in his fear landscape, it was different and more heartbreaking to see it actually happening to him. It also gave me more respect for his character, as I was able to understand how brave he had to be to transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless.Ultimately, I'm glad that I read this, but I wish that I'd waited for the bind-up of the four Divergent series novellas that's being released in February of 2014, so that I would've felt like I was getting more for my money.
