I think I read it three or four times in a row. But when I re-read it last year along with some of my students, I was surprised to find that I didn't like it much. I still liked it, but I kept finding little things to quibble with. However, my students loved it. I loved this book when I was a kid. I think I read it three or four times in a row.

I re-read AWiT recently too...so maybe I should wait for awhile before checking this one out, when the Meg-ness isn't quite so fresh. Besides, I really do need to re-read the second volume anyway, and finally get to the rest which will be fresh reads for me.
