4.0

Great story, but the age of this book really shows in the continuously "playfully (and sometimes not-so-playfully) racist" descriptions of a secondary character, and lazy writing of another character who has gotten fat since the previous books, which is used as a negative character trait. The TV series did a pretty good job of leaving the weirdness out while keeping most of the story in place, though.
