The Builders
1By ShannonDoah01I too have been had. From now on I will check the length of the book before buying. I feel cheated.Uh, $9.99? For this?
1By Esposa de CookyOkay, my bad, as when I look at I now, I see the description says that it is a short story. Not even a collection of short stories. But really? I read this in half an hour. I thought I was getting a novel. Totally sucked. I think the ebook sample is half the story. Go see a $10 movie for 2 hours instead and get a better entertainment value. Ms. Binchy should be ashamed for this scamming of true fans.Excellent, but too pricey for the length
5By NugizzocoolBinchy is an amazing story teller and the novella does not disappoint. However, I felt like $10 was too much to pay for a story of this length. It would have been more aptly priced at around $4.99...The Builders
3By mdbrit66Good story but very disappointed that I paid $9.99 for such a short story; bit of a rip-off really.Fast read
4By roverdoggieNice story, but only 72 pages for your money.
