4.0

If you exclude the already well-known jokes lifted directly from popular sources on the internet, this book was hilarious. I loved Gideon's character and her interactions with everyone else, and the plot was just so addictive that I couldn't put the book down. Although I was aware that Gideon the Ninth was influenced in some way, shape or form by Homestuck, I knew so little about the latter that I was unable to connect a single element of it to the former's worldbuilding, which was probably for the best.
