... and I have just done the wrong thing and voted all As...:orely: What u think would have been the right thing?
I love David. And, IMHO, A+ Ending.
the right thing would be a B for the plot, as I gave to The Stand and Needful Things...

I am going to abstain from this vote, it has simply been too long since I read it, and I can't pass fair judgment.
what a pity... could have been another AAA...

B-C-B here. It was "ok" but didn't strike me as "Holy fuck! This is AWESOME!" The only character to really develop at all was the praying boy and "Thanks to JESUS" well... We know the end.
