    BBB, just don't remember this book well enough to grade it fairly. Its been on the reread list for quite sometime, but I reason that if I cant remember it very clearly, then I didnt care a whole lot for it the first time. Soon, I will get to this one again.

    BBB here too. I brought this book to my summer vacation two years ago and I remember regretting not taking something else. I enjoyed reading it but I felt nothing about any of the characters.
