Not a Book, this is just a sample. This is a short story with no ending. The worst kind of cliff-hanger. It is wonderfully written. It is so funny and insightful! I was all set for a 5 star rating and then it stops. It does not end mind you, it just stops in the middle of an important scene. This is a first episode of a serial, which is fine if the author makes it clear what you are getting into. So it lost 2 stars for me when the story turns out to be only the first act and the author doesn't clue us in on how many parts we will have to buy to finally get a satisfactory ending. Am I going to be reading a trilogy? Is this a 5 part story-line? Or are there 22 episodes to this and I will end up paying more than a NY Times Best Seller costs by the time we see "The End."
I really enjoyed this author's work and skill in storytelling but I won't be buying anything else until this is finally completed and sold as a normal size book. I hate teasers when they aren't clearly labeled TEASER.… (mais)
