Okay, wow. I enjoyed this book a lot more than it seems other people do. It's my favorite college professor's favorite book, and she regularly brought it up in classes, so it's been on my tbr list for years. I didn't know how long or intricate it was, but I'm glad I didn't know anything really going in.

Halfway through I had to make a list of characters I actually liked, since several of them fell into a category of something like "I root for them in spite of not really liking them." But it all progressed in a much better way than I thought it would.
