4.0

A deeply unlikeable narrator, but a really interesting story about plagarism, professional jealousies, egos and insecurities. Almost everyone in this story is awful, but that's necessary to give us a look into the cut-throat world of publishing. Reading this is as a writer is an uncomfortable experience, but the narrative is so compelling, it doesn't even matter!
