3.5 stars. I would have gave it 4 if not for all the controversy around it. For the book based on the book alone. Good read worth the effort. I enjoy reading and if the book is good then it's good. If it sucks then it sucks. That is my own opinion. Happy reading 
 As for the other. Petty bullshit. Everyone is entitled to a opinion and if someone did not like something then that is their opinion. I don't really like how the author called this persons review to the front and center and will keep that in mind in my future purchases from this author. Like I said Petty!
