3.0

Took about two thirds of the book for the characters to become likeable, rather than just seeming forced caricatures.

The body horror, while expected in this, just dragged on and felt pointless much of the time.

I found myself just hoping it would be over soon.

It wasn't awful, but simply didn't hold a candle to the author's early works.
