Having benefitted from a streak of anarchy infecting a couple of booksellers in Brooklyn, I've already had ATD for 3 days, and am approxiamately 1/3 of the way through (I'm unemployed and my teen-aged kids are pretty self-sufficient at this point).
No spoilers, except to say that it's been hard to tear myself away and that I have both positive and negative comments to make at a later date.
