5.0

I read the first half of this as a child - people aren't kidding about how unbelievably long it is, even if you are used to reading 1000+ page books, it just seems like it's not going to end. And for the most part, I think that was a good thing. Mostly I remember being sucked into some extremely foreign adventure. This book is out of print now as far as I know and I never finished it when I was a kid (the library finally demanded that I stop re-checking it out). A few years ago my parents surprised me with a copy for Christmas that they'd hunted down from some online used book seller. I have yet to reread it. I suppose it's a daunting thing to me. But I will read it in its entirety when I'm ready, and it should be a good time.
