4.0

The first time I read this was in a single night during finals week in my sophomore year at Purdue. Just reading the first lines and their haunting introduction reeled me right in again this reread. Admittedly, I prefer the film adaptation because it pulls some of the plot points together more cohesively and paints a more believable setting overall.
