Really good for how short it is, wish the ending before the book text bit had been expanded a little.

A really interesting tale on a zombie apocolypse told via 15 year old X's diary entries. It was short but very good.

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.

Excellent Short Read
I really enjoyed reading this book. I found the word choices and usage to be somewhat simple, which left me disappointed. However, I found the character development and story line relatable and compelling. A short read, but worth it. Looking forward to sharing my experience with my book group.

Short and sweet
A great addition to the wizarding world collection. This is a short but sweet read with a few stories that are "classics for young wizards". JK Rowling was clever to think of adding commentaries by Dumbledore after each story, this really feels like Dumbledore is engaging with the reader. What's not to like?
  
A very short read but the romance in this story is fun and sexy. The characters are ok but you can't really get a feel for them because it's so short. If you enjoy a story about swingers and have quick 20 minutes then give this a go.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Hmmm, its Blake Lively and that's usually enough for me, this one however is a snappy short shark thriller that has moments that just prove to be improbable with a shark that's a bit of a stalker..who could blame him, not a great film but short enough to forgive its shortcomings and did I mention Blake...
