I love a story about rich people. That said, I think the characterisation gets lost in the author's (earnest!) effort to make a point. I found myself comparing it to Christopher Beha's The Index of Self-Destructive Acts and craving more of the nuance Beha strikes there.
But as I said: sometimes simply reading about the lives of the ultra-wealthy is very fun!
