Short, but well worth the money

There really isn't a whole lot to say about this single, considering it's only two tracks long. "Wings Of A Butterfly/Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly" is of course the title track. Though it's probably the weakest track on Dark Light, it's still a pretty cool song.

The other song however is much better. "Poison Heart," which was originally a song by The Ramones, is the reason I spent the money to have this. Even as far as HIM covers go, this is very good. It's not as good as (Don't Fear) The Reaper, which was off thier first album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666, but it's right up there.

Even though it's only got two tracks, I say buy it. Both of them are very good, and as of now, the only place to get both of these on a CD together is the Japanese version of Dark Light. Though I'd wait until the "Killing Loneliness" singles come out. One of those may offer Poison Heart, along with some other songs.

This was short but very enjoyable.  I don't normally spend money for something so short BUT he has not failed me yet and that includes this.  Worth the small fee to show my support of a great author.  I would only be disappointed if this is not a plot structure for a future full length release. Keep up the great work Mr. Bourne!

I was a little disappointed with how short this book was, but it was still a good read. Josh Lanyon is an expert with quickly developing characters, so you felt like you really got to know Noel and Robert despite the short length. Definitely worth picking up.

It was short and sweet. Very concise, and I loved reading it. While I would liked more none the less a summary is always perfect

This is a very short one but the author identifies that with - Article - in the title.  It was a pleasant read so I feel it is worth the modest price.

This book deserves five stars because while the writing is concise, the book is short enough for almost any reader to complete.

I'll keep it short. For one, this book is really short. I read it on the way to and from work in the same day. Secondly, Mamet says more in these hundred or so pages than most textbooks on the same subject. All that matters is that every scene serves a purpose and drives the story forward. True, there are exceptions to this rule but hearing Mamet tell it like it is with very little fat around his words is a refreshing alternative to long winded suggestions. Definitely worth a read if you are interested in directing anything at all.

This book is short but is packed with a lot of useful, practical information on how to save money.  There is no filler, just solid content.  It's also well written, which is refreshing, as so many other books in this price range cannot make that claim.  My only quibble with the book is that the information is a tad basic for someone like me, who is well-versed in frugality already.  Nevertheless, I still took away a few tips that were new to me.
It's well worth the investment of a few bucks.

This sure packs a punch for such a short book.  Our hero is recovering from the devastating loss of a child when he hears our heroine's cello music, which helps him hang on.  He slowly sees her here and there for months before he finally gets a chance to meet her, and he is as drawn to her in person as he is to her music.  She, of course, feels the same.  He is a neighbor to the "time share" sort of house the other group owns on Tryst Island.  This is a full, great story for being so brief = 4 stars.

This is a very short book: something like 113 pages with not a lot of page surface for words. It's one of those books that should really have been longer (to get your money's worth) but couldn't really be without distorting the clarity of the message.

It is a quick and enjoyable read, and it has a lot of real life examples and ideas. Most of it is commonsense, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful. It is all about the excellent service that a mail carrier provides over his career, and why he chooses to go "above and beyond" all the time with his dedication.

It reminds me a lot of another book called "Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results". We read both books for our workplace book-club and enjoyed both. Both were written by motivational speakers, and both try to work their way into a whole teaching program with awards and special terms and the like. Personally, I don't care for this type of commercialization, and I'm not about to go out calling people "Freds" or hand out "Fred" pins, but I darn well am going to look at the message of the book seriously and take it to heart.

I recommend this as a book that will appeal to a lot of people because it is not intimidating (especially to non-readers) and because it is written in an easy conversational style. (I think it is a good book for reading clubs.)

And finally, as one of my favorite lines in the book said (spoken by Abraham Lincoln) "Whatever you are, be a good one."

This short story is told from Reyes' point of view. It is shorter than it looks because the chapters are quite short, making it very easy to read in one sitting. I enjoyed reading and understanding a little better how Reyes grew up and became the adult he did. There is a bomb there regarding uncle Bob, autch. Still I wish there was more of it, I wanted to know how Reyes felt when he learnt he was going to be a dad and when his daughter was born. Still, it is hard to pass on this one if you enjoy the series.

This was a rather short read of under 20 hours, but the content greatly fulfilled my interest.

The book is very well done, but I expected something a little longer.  It is a very short story.

This turned out to be a fun game that I didn't really know much about when I bought it. The graphics were nice, movie scenes looked amazing and the gameplay was easy to learn and fun. The story was good, but I felt it was far too short and it's why I gave this a 4 instead of 5. There is plenty to explore and find though so I did get my moneys worth out of the game. I just had hoped the story was longer than it was. Either way, it's well worth the $20 I paid and it's something I will replay in the future.

Short and sweet, only took about 9 minutes to read. A lot of the tips are ones I have read about before, but there were a few new ideas I hadn't read before.

I read this book on kindle, and I was surprised how short it was. 25% of the book is comprised of footnotes and references to sources. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it.

There are some short stores that are good and some that are bad.  They can leave you wanting more in a good way or in a bad way.  They can be a complete story or frustrate you ad they leave you hanging.  They can be a good introduction to a book.  The Case of the Missing Bubblegum card was a complete short story.  It is short- just 27 pages- but is completely satisfying.  We are introduced to Jarvis Mann, a private investigator.  A young man comes to him in search of his missing baseball card.  Jarvis decided to help and the story is the search for the card with some unexpected results.

I got this short story on Amazon for free.  I honestly did not have high expectations of the story (sometimes there is a reason why things are free.).  I was surprised and highly enjoyed this short story and liked Jarvis Mann.  It can definitely be read in one sitting.

I plan on checking out the next book in the series to see how a full length novel plays out.  That next novel is Tracking a shadow.  And if I like it I may check out the rest of the series.

I highly recommend this short story!!
