3.25

I find it very difficult to rate this because I definitely did not enjoy reading it. However, I can’t rate it poorly because the things that it did, I understand and respect. I think for what the author was trying to accomplish, he did it well. There are things here and there that I’d nitpick, but I understand the purpose they serve nonetheless.

But I don’t feel as though I could rate this higher then a 3-3.5, because it’s content is so foul. Which I know I signed up for, but none of this was enjoyable.
