3.0
The blurb on the back of the book says to"come for the character and the story, but stay for the beautiful prose." A better idea is to come for the beautiful prose and tolerate the idiosyncratic characters who all think and speak like a witty, talented novelist.
My favorite: "he wishes his whole life could simply stop--so he could sneak around behind it, work on it and if he couldn't fix it escape out the back."
