4.5

I feel as though this book is marketed as more of a thriller/mystery than is accurate, which is a shame. The elements of death in this book are almost cautionary, rather than scary or exciting.

<i>Butter</i> is about learning how to be alive, and I think it does very well at telling that narrative.
