3.0

I would like to give this book a better rating. The writing is very good, the concept is amazing and the character development is very nuanced. Overall, it's very easy to read. However, I cannot accept the way woman are pictured, there is not a single loveable character and you can really see the prejudices of the writer reflected on the book - and that I cannot accept.
