You know, it is really nice to just dive into a little novella. Hamilton gives us the very spare basics and then it’s over. I’m good with that. Lean, sparse, just the way I like it. I don’t want everything I read to be like that, but I would appreciate if more authors would get off of themselves and start cutting their bloated corpse of a book down to size to just tell the story.
Of
course, I don’t think stories like this would fly any more. These
were written for magazines and people just aren’t reading magazines
any more. So I will gladly read these, enjoy them but I won’t be
wishing to go back in time or that all authors would be like this
nowadays.
★★★☆☆
