The books are very short & always leave a BIG question. This hanger makes you want to buy the next book.

I like the author and the protagonist in these books.  However, this book felt like it was written as a short story to meet a deadline as opposed to a full length novel.  No real character development.  But if you want a real quick read, this is your book.

I just borrowed this e-book from my library before I found out it's only 38 pages long. I don't understand why people bother to write such trivial books unless they're hoping to make a few quick bucks.

I would recommend this book of short stories to all those who truly enjoy reading her books.  To me, each of these stories was too short & left the reader wishing for more.  Each one of these short stories could have been developed into a novel of its own, and I got the feeling that she may have not had time to finish them.  This was the disappointing factor in the stories...that they may not have been completed.

I was going to buy this book so I got it from the library first...what a disappointment.  These stories are great but heavily rely on the pictures to help tell the story.  The pictures are tiny....very tiny.  We actually have some of the books that are in this book and there is NO comparison.  Madeline, for example, is all about the beautiful illustrations, but this book puts 4 or more pages onto one page.  It is a great price for all of those books but, honestly, I don't feel its worth it.

my only problem with these books is they are too short.  they could be combined 2-3 of these per book and it would make for better reading.

This  was a very superficial, just brushed the surface - SHORT book. Despite the reference to "series" the whole series was still shorter than most books I read.  It could have easily become a 4 book series.  The characters, story line and relationship development were all skimmed over. It left me wanting so much more of the story. Although overall a nice short story, it is a disappointment for any serious reader.

I should have paid closer attention to the fact, it is a very short book!  This is just a scam to get you to keep buying books in the series after the 1st was dangled in front of you for free!  A lot of authors are doing it, but I do not care for the practice.  I will not be buying the 3rd book, I'm severing my ties with this one.

Not even book size. Excerpts from the series I guess. Barely have time to get interested in the stories and they are over. Not why people like me read long "series" in the first place.

I generally love these books, but these smaller ones are really pushing my limits of even paying for them.  Only a select few have been overly outstanding.

I did enjoy the story & hearing it from the other point of view. But it definitely was not worth $2.00. It was way too short & a lot of it was repeated from the first book. It makes me unsure whether or not It would be worth spending the money to buy the next books or not.

Even though this book wasn't what i expected i love the fact it's small and the chapters are super short only like 3 pages long!

I just wish that for once an author could finish a series in 2 books. I feel that book 3 & 4 were so short they should have been one, but they just want us to buy another book. I love this series, but I am frustrated at the cost of the frequent small books. With that being said, I don't think I will purchase the next book.

The first book of the Harry Potter series is the shortest, by far.  I ordered this book for my mother in law, and it arrived ok, BUT
is is just part one of the first book. This book was about the same length in pages....so why split the first book, other than to make
a lot of money??  This was very annoying.

I was so excited to read this. But you need to know, each $3 book is only about a chapter's length. Very short. And you will have to buy each episode. I read all 8 and it left me hanging. Where is the rest?? Is the author going to finish it or not? I'm so let down.

The difficult part about reading one of Lee Child's short stories is that they are about 400 pages too short. Some of these would make great additions to a full sized novel. they are a nice teaser to keep one interested in the series while awaiting the next full novel to be published. Child's books are such quick reads, these short stories last about an hour and I'm frothing at the bit for the next one. This one is no exception to that experience. Clearly, one full novel a year is just not enough. Lee needs to cancel all vacations until Book 40 is published!
