this is the best review i have ever written!! i am entering it into a book-reviewing contest. in which i will also eat pie!! 
 hahahah awesome! if every book i read this year is as short as this one, i am well on my way to victory!!! 
 but i am not trying to cheat - i really did want to read this, and since i borrowed this blessed nook, i was able to read all sorts of interstitial and prequel type books and stories. 
 and this one. 
 which is kind of neither, but is a fantastic story by an author who has consistently given me good stuff to read. i would love to read a book of short stories by her, so i am hoping that at some point, one becomes available. 
 because this is such a tease. it is like 15 pages long or something. and it seems i can read even more quickly when i am reading on a device, so it zoomed by, even though it said there were 10 pages left, which turned out to just be 10 pages from a book of hers i had already read. dammit.. 
 makes me think that someday i might actually take the plunge and invest in a nook for myself. but i don't think they will pay for all the stuff i wanna read like they are with the one i borrowed from work. but they should. it would be a wise investment. i would talk about how great the device is here on the interwebz, i would! 
 if you are one of those people who already read stuff on a device, might as well go ahead and read this one. it is another fine piece of writing from ms. grant, and is spooky and funny with a little barb at the end. v. similar to matheson's the box, but who cares. is good. is very good.
