More a 2.5, sort of a right-in-the-middle type of book. There were some good themes- friendship, be nice to people, don't mess with dark magic. It will be an ok addition to our library, but it isn't one that I personally will jump up and say, "Yes! I love the book where the dead girls all go zombie like in Walmart at 2:00 in the morning". But if that sentence just made you want to read the book, then go for it.
