I got it on a whim in Philadelphia because I had a 3 hour drive back to school, and I finished it on infrequent trips between school and home.

This is the only one of two I completed (lulz, the other being The Hound of the Baskervilles) but here we are. It's not bad, but got a little boring at times, and I kind of had to force my way through it. (less)
