4.0

This book was amazing, but the first half of it is pretty slow paced. There is a lot of world building in the beginning or established to roles and key players at Yale, and that background is important to fully appreciate the final parts of the book but they are hard to get through. Please stick with it, the book is so well written and you will appreciate its slow start for the intense and twisting end!!!
