I was pulled in pretty quickly, wondering what was in the bag Charlie had and what was with the crash Lane had. And then things got interesting. For me, this is a great example of an "afternoon read" book. Things moved quickly and moving from one character to the others really kept things jumping.

I can see this on the big screen, for sure. I was pulled in pretty fast and the only reason why I didn't finish it on Saturday was because I was having a hard time putting such a good book to bed. I was having too much fun for it to end. And the one scene with Lane... well, I didn't touch the book for two hours after I read that.
Swierczynski has a fast forward moving, no clutter, streamline style. So yes, it reads fast because you are being pulled along, wanting to find out what happens to Charlie, Lane, The Mann.I have the same problem as Tom, though, cutting out the time to read straight, even 4 hours is a tough proposition. And once you get going with one of Duane's books, you really want to.
I must be a slow reader. It took me a few days to get through it. That said, it was a quick read for me--it usually takes me a week to finish a book of that length.
I listened to the book so it took me the 7+ hours to get to it. And, since my book-listening time is short, I had to pick it up here and there. Now, unlike the last audiobook I read--where I would choose pretty much anything over having to listen to it in the car--Fun and Games was a book I looked forward to getting back to. Finished it yesterday. Really enjoyed it.
