25.15 It's Barbeque Time!
Using options B and D, I read
It has over 400 pages. This is the fourth book in a series of 5, so it is sandwiched between two books (B). I was Chicken to read this because it has some pretty bad reviews in comparison to the first 3 in the series (D). Personally I did not find it as bad as the reviews indicated.
