<p>the mystery ones are very popular, but are also alot of work. i had three friends who took it. also, they have alot of different sections so you might have very different experiences based on who's teaching it. i also knew someone who took fairy tales, and they said it wasn't as easy as it sounded. it gets pretty deep.</p>
