I would give this a 3.5. It starts out fine — you get to know and like the characters a bit, and understand that they have back stories and inter-relationships — but once Hugo dies it all goes downhill from there. The deaths are cheeseball (choking on buttons?) and laughable (a collapsing bed?). The end gets dark again, but there’s so much in the middle that could have been some better, including the levitating table cliche. Yikes! I did like the main character though...
