3.75
I struggled so much with this. The way it was written ('Ah' insted of 'I' for instance) made it very difficult to read for me, as I'm a non-native English speaker. But it's also part of the point to write the book this way, so it's not something I would've changed. I think I need to hear it on audio or read it in my native language, but I'm afraid some of the story might get lost in the translation.
It's therefor hard to rate - the story was interesting (but slow at times) and Janie's development was great to witness. Overall I think 3.75 is fair, as I liked it a lot, but it was hard to get through because of the writing style.
