I think the biggest complaint people have about novellas is that they are typically the same price as a full length novel despite being half the length. Personally, I check most novellas out from the library unless I find several of the books as a collection for a reasonable price.

Still, I definitely prefer longer novels, but I have recently started reading novellas as well. Particularly from authors I haven’t read before. It’s a good way for me to get an idea of the quality and style of writing without investing in a full length novel.

I'd love to add Monk & Robot books to my collection. Saw them at the local bookstore this week - for $45 each (Melbourne, Australia) Presumably the price was because they are technically 'hardcover' but come on, they're not even full-sized books. That pricing is insanity.
