4.0

For me it started out quite strong, and as it split into the separate stories of the characters I found myself less interested in some more than others. It has fantastic naturalistic descriptions and strong imagery. The message of the book is pretty clear, bordering on preachy but in an entirely justified way. I dont think this book would be for everyone, but it is an important book none the less.
