4.0

The plot is good and interesting. It seesaws between boring and exciting. The dialect can be a little hard to pick up especially if you are totally unfamiliar with it, (it wasn't hard for me to understand) but I think once you get going it becomes easier. The only thing that would have made this book a 5/5 for me would be if the language wasn't so crass. Sexual violence and assault is described in (in my opinion) unnecessary detail and without any respect or care for the victim(s) or reader. If you are triggered by sexual assault or violence I strongly advise that you do not read this book.
