    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.

    You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me.

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