As much as I enjoyed it, I do have to say it has a quite a long list of flaws. For starters, there is not a likeable to be found. The main character Richard is, to be frank, an idiot.
The pacing is incredibly slow up until
All that said, this is still one of my favorite books. It skates by entirely on vibes and I definitely understand why someone would not like it. However, I still find myself unable to stay mad at it for too long.

this book started so slow & finally paced up after like 400 pages. All very pretentious, characters very unlovable, involves many slurs & is sadly not directly critiquing the bourgeoisie as i would have liked it to do. rich kids basically fuck up & have money & do drugs & drink and read books. wow. not really groundbreaking.raiynnn's review against another edition
