Serialization started in the summer of 1995, about 18 years after the start of serialization.

No one is actively bad this time, but neither is anyone giving a pretty limp punch. At times, Smith gets into a good rant — “There’s this room on your way back from hell and the devil will set your mouth on fire,” declares Red. “It’s the DMV!” —but , which is hardly enough.
