I really didn't like this book. The characters were quite well written but extremely unlikeable. I hated all the worshipping of money. I believe that the author is trying to poke fun at the people who live the lifestyle of the super-rich but the sheer waste of money made me feel ill. The plot dragged on - I couldn't care less about subterranean basements., I couldn't care less about the love lives of these hideous people and I couldn't care less about...actually I can't think of anything else. It's a very thin story. The ending was bizarrely written and a completely unbelievable plot twist that so easily tied up all the loose ends. I hated all the different voices telling their side of the story - the changeover was very intrusive to the flow. It was not a gripping plot and having this lurch from one voice to another made me want to stop reading. I nearly did but I got a copy of the book from Netgalley in exchange for review.
