4.0

Loved this (and lovingly hated it, which will probably be true about any book set in the world of academia). You can read this as a funny, wild ride of a story, or as a thought provoking satirical critique of... Everything? I think the fusion of these two qualities is what made this so impressive. A little slow for me in parts but mostly just fully absorbing and great on audio.
