    BBB, although maybe should be BBC, had to real struggle through the last 100 pages or so

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    BAA. The plot is pretty easy but the characters are impressive and the ending is good and sensible.

    Yeah, I'm not gonna finish this book in time (only halfway through it). But, from the way it's going, I'd give it B,B,can't judge the end at all. Not voting, though.
