Brakowało mi trochę fabuły i jednak z problemami tak bogatych ludzi nie mogę się utożsamiać, ale żaden z bohaterów mnie nie denerwował. Koniec bardzo mi się spodobał, bo pięknie spiął całą historię.

I enjoyed the first half of the book considerably more than the back half where it just seemed to drag. While the story focuses on one family, and while there is “character development” with their attitudes towards money, it’s all written in a very cliched way that doesn’t feel earned. Suddenly, they realize how money corrupts but it’s done in a way that falls flat. Feels like it had so much promise that falls short.

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

Not invested in the characters. The story is a bit interesting but every time I’m sucked in the vapidity of the main characters pulls me right back out.
