4.0

took a while to get into it (I think mainly due to the writing style and level of description initially being somewhat jarring), yet ultimately ended up really enjoying (as much as one can 'enjoy') it. feel like its final third was the strongest and most gripping. interesting relationship between his generally very surface level interactions with everyone vs his internal monologue. I'm also still not sure how much of it I think actually happened.
