All A's for this one. Awesome book!

All A's. And I dare you to say different.

[DoctorDodge]

AAA. One of the shit scariest novels I've ever read. Another SK book that's in serious need of a re-read from me, I think.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

All A's again. In fact, I think that this book perfectly illustrates what is A material for all three of these criteria.
