4.5

I think the book focused too much on how scared Luke was to do anything. Make the point and move on and save 1/3 of the reading time.  Although I got tired of this, the book was one that I read in one sitting, to see how it ended. I really wish his friends had been in the book more —

if nothing else, just to see him make his speech. I thought it was out of character for them to not show up at the huge celebration.
