4.25 out of 5.
Great character development, well paced story, and utterly impressive ending.
I'll be pondering this one a while...
The first 50 pages or so were a 2.5, the next 100 were a 3, and then the rest ramped between a 3.5 and a 4.
I originally read part one of this book in high school, for English, and my 14 year old self hated it.
Reading it now, this is an incredible work of literature.
No, it's not clean. It's not beautifully edited and powerfully structured. It's, at times, a hot mess. But that ties in so well with the protagonist's state of mind, and the world around them.
Confusing, intimidating, confronting, and exciting.
It's a solid 3.8/5, and I'm damned glad to have read it.
