Ok, even though I rated it in the last round decided to mark it as never read, as I only of general vague memories of the book and how it made me feel, but not enough detail to answer these questions.

to me that would be Cs all around since it wasn't memorable.

But I do seem to recall that I enjoyed it, so its hard to punish it for that. If Roadwork was still in the tournament, I would do that, since I don't even remember if I liked it or not.

I love this book, one of my all-time favorites.

For those that gave character development a C, why? The book is all about the characters. You really get inside their head and feel what they are going through. Curious if you guys are just not a fan of the characters or something?
