It really depends on your reading requirements. Novels are generally read for recreation so a photoread and rapid read is often the way to go.
For the purpose of study there are some things to look for in the novel which makes it feasable to apply the activation steps even partially before a rapid read. It's still possible to get everything from a novel without a rapid read.It all boils down to individual preferences.
