3.0
A quick and relatively entertaining read, just don't think too hard about it.
Plot points just happen, motivations aren't explained well, and characters don't have much characterization. Important characters are completely absent from the narrative until the exact moment that they're important. The book has so many possible themes, morals, and insights but it just doesn't follow through with them.
Overall it was a fast read with some fun scares and tension. Just don't think too hard and don't expect too much and you'll have a decent time. The end is a let down though.
