I just havent really had the time for a standard novel lately let alone a sponges novel. If you didn't have to make Storm and Rogue actually enjoy the dinosaur penis and go looking for more I might've finished XvAVP when I sat down to read it with nothing better to do. Also I believe you can lay out a scene without using 10 adjectives a sentence. Most novelist do because their editors would make them edit uneccesary adjectives to make the story a more clear concise read.
