 Decent book. I’m still confused by the late-nineteenth-century belief that ugliness correlates with moral depravity (see also: Dorian Gray), but I did enjoy this and I liked that it wasn’t dragged out. It reads nicely at the length it is. Discussions of people’s good and bad natures are interesting. Also, general understanding of this book lied to me. It’s not about a guy with a personality disorder. It’s about a guy who wants to get away with doing bad things.
