This is a double book, 2 complete novels. I do recall enjoying it, and it was a bit distinctive, however, I have not re-read it. That means that while I liked it, it did not stay in my mind enough to require re-reading, nor have I been curious enough about it to read it again. For me, that puts it squarely on the 'average' part of the scale, i won't tell you not to read it, but I can come up with at least 100 books you should read first. ( )
