nope. It is shorter than the books i typically read (I think my copy is 80 pages or so). But it is not short enough to be considered a "short story".
Stories that are too long to be considered a short story and too short to be considered a proper novel are called novellas.

Ok. I though I remembered teachers/librarians(years and years ago) refering to it as a short story, but I'm mistaken then.

Bernard Cornwell! How could I forget? - have read all of the 'Sharpe' books - terrific!
(I've never quite seen the appeal with Harry Potter - I've read the first one, and part of the second - and they are pants! And why is it that the main character is such a numpty? He doesn't solve anything himself - his mates do it for him! He just faffs around.)

I should read those. Ive seen the movies on BBC America and they are pretty good, but im sure they dont do justice to the books (as is usually the case)

i dont mind the inheritance trilogy (first two out)
he is a bit repetitive, but thats undersatndable since he started writting the first when he was 15.

I think my favorite "book" is actually more of a short story my H.P Lovecraft and its Beyond the Mountains of Madness.
Although a close second would have to be Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund.
Followed by a very close third being The Time of the Twins books in the Dragon Lance series.

Definitely the Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker.
