This is a good book with a nice nested structure. I thought it might be a bit more intricate/layered, given the reviews, but I still enjoyed it. Perhaps having just taught Pale Fire made this seem simple by comparison but I still found it rewarding. I'll be reading it with my students in my "Risky Business and the American Dream" course and I can say that it certainly pairs well with The Great Gatsby (a text we start that class with).
