3 hours 54 minutes - I loved reading this book, the characters are so endearing, and seeing Percy again was always going to be a good thing. The plot felt very intense, particularly towards the end at Frank's house, I could almost imagine tense music playing in the background. There were, admittedly, parts that felt a little slow - the introduction to the new camp, and the journey to Alaska felt like they dragged slightly too long, but overall this didn't really change my enjoyment of the book all too much. The ending allowed a happy conclusion but also a cliff-hanger where the two perspectives will merge and I am excited to see how that happens.
