was going to give this a 4.5 but after finishing it and reading how nicely the book ties up everything while presenting its case i'm closer to a 5. going to let it marinate for a bit before settling on that score but i already gave the anime a perfect score so it's not outside the realm of possibility. 
i'd like to thank in particular Emily Balistrieri for (i'm assuming faithfully!) maintaining Morimi's incredibly unique voice in her translation. i completely forgot that it was translated, quite frankly, since it felt like the words had directly left Morimi's hands!
