A short 74 pages but a good story (if you like short novella types), it's a twisted horror that I randomly came across on Amazon and thought it looked good so I popped it in my wish list and received as an anonymous swap which makes me feel a little better... mainly because if I personally had paid over £5 for a book to then have it arrive as less than 100 pages, I wouldn't have been impressed at all. I understand costs need to be covered but had I noticed the page count initially this would not have made it to my list.

To say that I "liked" the story is probably not the best word to use, considering the story. I did like it, for lack of a better term at the moment. It's magical, morbid, sometimes funny, and it definitely makes you think. I enjoyed the originality of the story. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I will say that I wasn't sure what would happen for sure until the end. Night Theater was a short read, but definitely an interesting one. I wasn't sure that I'd like it at first, but there was no reason to put it down. I'm glad I happened to run across this book by chance.

4 short stories make up Big Finish's first foray into anthology storytelling, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. Outstanding storytelling, great acting (especially by my favorite guest star, David Warner) a deepening of the special relationship that five and Nyssa share, and a finale to die for. This might be my favorite Fifth Doctor story of the line thus far. Great audio!

Just the opposite from my last Big Finish review, (check out www.travelingthevortex.com for more thoughts). These four short vignettes are good. (Well, the first one is merely okay, the second and fourth ones are good. The third, "Bedtime Story" is hands down one of the best audios I have EVER listened too. I don't have enough words to describe how awesome this one is.

this book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed this book, the characters were fab and the story was well written. this book is definitely a sweet read but it is a short one, leaving you wanting more at the end. the ending is fab and the book ends perfectly


highly recommended

Totally cute story. My kids enjoyed it. The said that it was cool that the bird wasnt scared to fail and they liked that she kept trying and working at it. They really enjoyed it and I liked that it was short enough and moved enough that it kept the attention of all 5 kids lok. I am very glad I got to review this one

hello, I'm a writer and I love to read!I'm slowly incorporating the library in my neighborhood into the library in my house.. My most recent beta read was for Dancing Feet, a short story by tabitha ormiston-smith. It was a lovely read, with a modern and determined retelling of Cinderella, but without all the silly princess nonsense. check it out on amazon today

The collection of the first three Chocoholic mysteries plus the short story that was set and released before the series started. If you haven't started the series, this might be the place to start. The stories are light but fun and the characters are great.
