Three weeks on the list, now #11.

As a frame of reference, any book that eventually reaches the top two or three generally does so within the first two or three weeks of publication.

If this is as high as it gets, and it doesn't stay on the list very long, I think that from the POV of sales it will be considered a flop.

As far as it's literary value goes, I think we already know it's a flop.
