1.0 out of 5 stars NOT WHAT I EXPECTED December 5, 2009

This should have been stated as a sample. It is NOT the entire book. Someone should make that clear!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointed November 2, 2009

By Yellow Jacket

This was well written, and caught my interest. My complaint is that I was led to believe that this was supposed to be a novella. Instead it read like the first chapter in a book. Isn't a novella supposed to be a conmplete story in it's own right?

I really don't mind a preview, especially if it is free.

However, 1 star for deception, if your gonna give me a sample or a preview, tell me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a free book. January 15, 2010

By D. Stephens

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the first "book" I attempted to read on my new Kindle. I was very anxious to see how I would like reading on the Kindle and was very happy to find out about the free books available. I made the mistake of thinking The Hunters was a book when it is, as many others have stated, nothing but a sample consisting of the first chapters of a different "book." I'd like to read the rest but am now afraid I'd get only the next couple chapters in the story before I'd need yet a third "book."

1.0 out of 5 stars If this is a "lead-in to "Darkness" why not call it that? December 14, 2009

By Auric

Format:Kindle Edition

Why call it "The Hunters?"

Sorry Amazon, but this type of hooey is not to your usual standard!

One of the main reasons I shop Amazon is to avoid items like this. Yea, it's free but you're only going to get 6 chapters and certainly not a whole story. This is no different from the free sample you can get with any book on the kindle. Don't waste your time with this one.
