This "No" comes with the caveat that this is good for what it is, but it is mostly overpriced for what it is. I was definitely expecting more from it than what I got out of it. I bought it for $0.99 on sale, so I am not too upset, but if I had paid full price, I would probably be asking for a refund right now. The Lonesome Fog is very visually and aesthetically appealing, the music and sound effects are nice, and the 3D effect given to the pages when you click and drag makes the illustrations pop a little more. However, the story is less than 10 minutes in length, and that's *if* you take the time to click and drag around on each page to see the 3D effect. As such, the story itself feels a little under-developed, and I felt the conclusion was unsatisfying because of it. Even another 3-5 pages of character development, introspection, exposition or *something* would make the story feel more fleshed out. For me, it felt like it was "missing something." I thought, perhaps, that the book might have interactives on each page in the sense that, if you click on an animal in a scene, the fish might jump, or a bird might flutter and flap its wings, etc. The only interactive I can see is the click and drag aspect, and that's it. It would be good for those with kids, because no doubt the young ones would want to read and re-read the story, clicking around to see the effects, since they are generally more entertained by such dynamics, and don't really care about the finer points of literary analysis. So, I would definitely recommend for anyone with children, but for those of us without, this might be a disappointment.
