Really a 3.5 i think. 
 I wasn't a huge fan of this. I suppose, maybe this book could be too far out of my age range and just doesn't appeal to my tastes. Or I just simply don't like the way it's written. I'll give the second book in the series a shot, because I like the IDEA of the story, just to see if it picks up. But it's not at the top of my TBR pile.
