4.75
The introduction hooked me and kept me engaged for the first 50 or so pages, then it dwindled. I felt like the middle of the book read like a memoir, which was still interesting, but not what I felt like I was promised. The last 100 or so pages were incredible and makes the grateful for the chunk of book that I was tempted to skim. I would read it again with the knowledge I had by the end.
Updated my rating to a 4.75 because I finished the book weeks ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it, even after finishing another book and starting a new one. I miss reading Animal.
