3.0

Well, it did get more interesting toward the end, and I definitely didn't see the ending coming. Overall, it wasn't an enjoyable read. I like an unreliable narrator, but not an entirely unlikable one. This one is painfully pretentious, without its being tempered by any self-doubt. His psychic depths make the ending so odd, and must provide fodder for some more analytical reads, but I don't think I'll bother with any more McCoy.
