3.0

While I read it last year, it wasn't as bad as I remembered (hence the one-star rate increase). There were, nevertheless, aspects that frustrated me a little --- many the same as last year, but I also considered more of why Hall might've used certain traits the way she did, which made it more tolerable. I was still a little frustrated with the dimness of Luc's coworkers, though.
