I read Capricornia over winter break, it was out on interlibrary loan 
so I had only 2 weeks to read it in! I had no work or school to do so 
could spend as much time as I liked each day reading, to my surprise 
I finished the whole book in 3 days! The hours just flew by without 
me noticing, I got quite wrapped up in what would happen next. Not 
that it's super suspenseful or anything but the writing focused more 
on action instead of thoughts, so it seemed quicker paced. Besides 
which the story is just very interesting (I thought). I'd definitely 
recommend it, don't let the length discourage you!
