I was definitely drawn in at first, it’s pretty disturbing, eventually you get tired of not having a plot, it is an oddly satisfying end? There are lessons to take away from it and a lot of hilarious details so I stand by 3.75

None of the characters in this book are supposed to be loved. This book is a hyperbolic satire on Americas self proclaimed high society.
