Probably closer to 3.5, but what the hell, it was fun. 
 While the podcast focuses on Cecil and his public radio station, Welcome to Nightvale focuses on pawn shop owner Jackie Fierro and Diane Crayton, PTA treasurer. When a man in a tan jacket leaves behind a note saying "King City," Jackie is understandably intrigued. But when she finds the paper stuck to her hand, she is on a mission to find King City, and get that dang paper off her hand. 
 If you are a fan of the podcast, this will be right up your alley. If you are completely new to the world of Nightvale, welcome. You will also be fine. I will be honest when I say that I haven't completed the podcast, but I was totally fine. Yes, there were bits that were funnier to me because I was familiar with the world, but it odd enough in tone that it will be fine regardless. 
 We get appearances from beloved Nightvale characters including Old Woman Josie and her Angels, Farmer John Peters, the secret police, and even Carlos. And don't worry, we still get our Cecil fix. After all, Cecil's show is a staple in Nightvale's life. 
 It would be so easy for this to become tedious. Nightvale's tone works in its short program form, but I was anxious to see how it translated to a longer format. And there were times I was like, "Okay, let's get to the point. Let's get a little more heart." But then the quips where just so good I couldn't even be mad about it. Honestly, this whole book is incredibly quotable. Just go read it. 
 When it comes down to it, Nightvale is the set spot mix of sic-fi, fantasy, and humor. This is a fun world. Just watch out for the librarians.
