3.0

It was an interesting book. And I liked the writing well enough that it made me want to finish reading it. But ultimately, looking at the book as a whole, it was a whole lot less impactful than I thought it would be. It started off strong and somewhere in the middle, it lost momentum. It picked up in the end but in the middle, it was such a drag to read honestly. I liked it okayish.
