Missed this one. This is a top 5 novel for me. So it would have been AAA.
Edit: Welllll, in all fairness, I guess it would have been ABA, because character development was a little lacking. I don't think that detracted from the greatness of the novel. This was not a character driven story.
Out of the bottom 20 books that have received their Round 2 final scores (the top 10 will receive them next week), Pet Sematary came out on top. Depending on how the books in the top 10 do, it may very well get into Round 3.
By the way, if you don't know, you can check all those scores here: 2010: Overview of the results so far (Round 2) (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=10519)
