4.0

It felt a little lazy/haphazard to immediately throw the characters directly back into the situation they quite literally just escaped. I also felt the resolution could have resulted in a lot more answered questions. Still, Warner was iconic in this book, and I will shamelessly admit I read it obsessively.

If you asked me if I liked this book 300 pages in I would have said no. Honestly this book sucked. Boring and gross and depressing. But Mafi manages to once again make a full recovery in the end. I even cried. I hate to say it but the end was so sweet the whole gross Anderson thing seems less offensive.
