In general I liked TSK:L and there are certain parts I reread (the opening
scene with s*x that doesn't quite work until it does, and the camp council
scene).  No it isn't a fabulous book, but I liked it.

However, YES YES YES to the above!  Two short, expensive hardcovers that
should have been ONE book at the price of one of them.  This was a
boneheaded move.  I am also not inclined to buy future TSK books as
hardcovers.
