I think I might've enjoyed it more if it was a little sped up, and if

more crimes were committed than just the one murder that was already described at the start of the book

 
But still, the writing was lovely, and the description of a psychotic and totally unreliable narrator was wonderful. I did find the ending a little confusing at first, as 

I wasn't sure if Julian was actually dead or not, or if Paul got institutionalized or not, and it was rather vague and confusing

but after a little while, I did understand the reference that Julian put in his letter.

This book is one of the best made tragedies I’ve ever read. The threads of the story are laid out fantastically and tie together perfectly.
