more like a 4.25. i loved it for the most part and it def helped me expand my world view and gave me almost a second hand experience of everything the protagonist dealt with, but where it lost me was how it was its  rlly graphically detailed and borderline trauma-porn esque parts like let him be happy damn!!! but besides that i loved it it was a work of art
