4.0

The premise was great and the first half of the book was executed really well, particularly in crafting a character who both actually struggled socially to the detriment of himself and others, but still was worth rooting for. The latter half felt rushed in pace and almost undid the work of the first in terms of investment, but the premise and character of Leonard was enough for me to stick it out.
