    You've still got 7 days to read those 50 pages before this round ends.

    CBB, thought about straight C's, but could not justify marking down the last two categories any lower. Overall, I found this book extremely tedious and slow to start. This is the only SK book that I had to start multiple times. I felt that the style of the two authors did not merry well. The only redeeming parts of this book were the Sunlight Home, and all scenes with Wolf.
    Still havent read Black House, but I guess I will eventually.
