I'd say more like a 2.5.
It's a very interesting character study. But not only do I disagree with most of the main characters thoughts, I also do not like the ending. The moment that October 20th rolls around, the book goes in every and any direction. It's bleak. The main character (who is seen to be fairly rational) drugs Vladimir (without knowing his medical history it can be pretty effing dangerous), encourages him to drink more than necessary, uses his phone and impersonates him.
And the fire ? Out of nowhere? Not interesting to me and certainly not a satisfying ending.
Overall the first half was interesting to read, the second half not so much
