I was gobsmacked to realise this had 5 star reviews.
It's only just over a page long in my Kindle - it's almost the shortest book I've come across.
That wouldn't be a problem if the story was well written, but it's not. It's full of purple prose, there's no real shape to the story, the sentence structure and expression are awkward, even ugly, and the language is not age appropriate to a child young enough to actually think this was a worthwhile story. (If I read it to my 3 and 6 year old nephews, I'm 100% sure they'd feel extremely shortchanged by how little happens.)
On top of all this, even though it's a two page story that's being sold for two quid (which in and of itself a bit of a rip off in my opinion), it clearly hasn't been proofread. Arctic turns into artic halfway through, and some of the sentences don't really make sense.
I'm basically appalled that anyone would put so little work into making an ebook and then flog it for two pounds. As a freebie, I don't personally think it was worth the time spent downloading and reading it. At full price, this is extracting the urine.

Ridiculously short, hugely overpriced, poorly written.
