I accidentally voted twice on the strength of plot. Should be a C.

ABA

it is very well written, much better than most of King's writing. Interesting that with the present system of grading (which is my own baby as well as pablo's!) bears have no way to express how or why they dislike the book. Judging by the grades they gave, one might think bears liked it.
