This sounds more like a novella. What a bummer that the author did not take it to the next level.

Thanks for your review and score that indicates your dissatisfaction for very short book with errors that make reading bit harder. the story sounded nice and author could have elaborated it and carefully edited it and made it more meaningful
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Well that's a shame! It started off so well too. Thanks for the helpful review. It's so frustrating when a book has been dashed off and not checked adequately.

The fact that this book only took 15 minutes to read surprised me. The description of the plot made it seem like it should be a full-length story. That, in addition to the many errors, makes me wonder why it's even available to read. Thanks for the review though!

Thanks for commenting! I was definitely disappointed to see that the author did not choose to expand upon such a good idea.

Yes, the idea of the story was good, but the execution was just so flawed that it made it a chore to read. Thanks for commenting!

Yes, it could have been amazing! Even if it was short, if it had been edited a few more times, it could have truly been inspirational. Thanks for commenting!

I wondered that too, especially since it is being sold as a full-price book on Amazon. Thanks for commenting!

Gosh, I was hooked on the story in the first paragraph of your review. It's such a shame when a promising premise has no chance because of editing and structure problems. I will skip this book, but appreciate your well-written, honest review. Thank you!
