4.0

Good but so bleak. The story repeatedly flirts with cliche (
Samuel being surprisingly innocent, Nelson's lawyer quest)
and then averts it to devastating effect. 

After reading the origin, it makes sense that the whole book is leading up to Idaho, and I feel like some of the earlier segments could have been briefer. Really solid overall.
