4.0

I liked this. I was apprehensive about the poetry format but I think overall it worked. I'm not sure I understand why/how it was divided into the three parts. Part 1 felt a little heavier on the biography, while Part 2 was a little more hard hitting, but the timeline wasn't consistently linear. I can't put my finger on why this wasn't as hard hitting as I expected it to be, despite doing everything right. I may have read it too quickly. Anyway, I liked the honesty and brutality of it.
