I was really conflicted about how to rate this book, because it feels like a 5-star, but I got so bored in the middle I was kind enough to consider keeping it at a 4. Not because the writing was bad, but because it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I enjoyed the ending, however, and I thought the way the book was written was so creative and unique that I’d be remise if I didn’t give them credit for their hard — and truly genius — work.
