4.0

Shines in the 1st person chapters, which are realistic, easy to read and laugh-out-loud funny. In comparison the 3rd person sections come out oddly detached and occasionally clunky, though I'm not sure whether that's a deliberate attempt at scientific diction or a symptom of this being the author's first novel.
