4.0

While the subject matter is a bit antiquated and the characters are old fashioned, the author writes them so beautifully. The writin  wraps around me and brings me into the story.  
Some parts of the story are so exactly reflective of the human condition while also being communicated with luxurious slow pertinent prose. I enjoyed the writing much more than the tale itself.
