3.0

Ok this book is definitely a product of its time (frequent use of the "r-word", jokes at the fat character's expense), but I still had fun. I watched and adored the show, which fixed a lot of the issues I have with the books, so I might be overly generous with the rating. 

The book was very long and feels somewhat unfocused in the first 3/4, but imo it ended up being worth it for the plot twist near the end.
