would have been a big surprise if it was the first book to grade in the first group of this round; in the light of what has already been said here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?14685-Enhancing-Our-Grading-System), no big surprise, but still a paradox that calls for solution.

My least favorite book of the seven, and I have to grade it AAA. Because the plot is wonderful, the characters (except Susan, Rhea, and, to lesser extent, Roland) are brilliant, and the ending very impressive.

someone has voted C for the plot and the ending... I understand some people didn't like the ending, what with the Frank Baum references etc (I personally loved it), but the plot?

This is my absolute favorite DT book. I read through it so fast that I really need to sit back and do it again.

AAA, favorite of the series. But even if was my least favorite, I would still have had to give it AAA based on grading criteria.
