I thought I bought the collection of short stories of the same title. What this represents is one single story - the title story of the original collection and nothing else! The text is full of errors, e.g. words clumped together without spaces. In parts the text is almost unreadable because of this. It is scandalous for google play to sell this. Get the original - you have been warned.

A fantastic story, though this copy of it is very badly formatted - several words run together on both the tablet and smartphone version. Definitely read this story, but find another copy.
