I'm a fan of the 3-500~ pg books, what i don't like is getting to book 2 and seeing, This is book 2 out of 35 in the epic saga of..................... Write a book, maybe 1-2 others to tie up loose ends, call it good. You read a H.G. Wells book, when you close it, FINI.
This 27 pg is another of those space fillers, i've been getting in to last few months. 25 - 125 pages, It's over. Story moved along, Keeps your attention and satisfied once done. There are books out there, doesn't matter how long or short, 5-10 pages in you know it's a shitty read.
