5.0

This book's most impressive achievement is taking such an un-loveable character and quickly making you invested enough to root for him at every turn. You want him to be a better person no matter how many times he lets you down, a bit like an abusive relationship with the protagonist. 

Major CW for detailed sexual-assault.
