I thought I was downloading a novel; so of course I am disappointed. No way to report this without choosing a number of stars so Ill choose two because I feel tricked. Now I have to go buy the novel.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Be warned: This Kindle e-edition is an adoption of the novel for the stageBy L.
