Really a 3.75 I'd say, totally worth reading if you're interested in New Orleans, art, US history, the African American experience, families, etc. etc. (i.e., many of us).

This was a poignant look at a city and a people that would not be defeated by a storm or a flood or the bureaucracy and neglect of a government. Part personal memoir about Mr Pierce and his family, part anecdote about his performance of Waiting for Godot in the devastated ninth ward following the massive flood post Hurricane Katrina, and also a look into his work on The Wire and Treme. If you are a Wendell Pierce fan this is a great way to connect deeply with his story. If you are just curious about how New Orleans was able to stand on its feet again after horrible devastation, you couldn't find a better book.
