- Characters: 7 - I dislike all of the characters, but that’s the point. The slow reveals of their natures is intentional.
- Atmosphere/Setting: 8 - I really enjoyed the framing narrative. I think at times it would have been better to avoid some of the Paul side stories. Especially during the main course. It slowed things down when I was really wanting more information.
- Writing Style: 7
- Plot: 8
- Intrigue: 9
- Logic/Relationships: 9
- Enjoyment: 7 As others have mentioned, this is a bit of a difficult read. I just do not want to be in Paul’s head.

Not the most fun read, certainly; nor was it a complete waste of time. G-d damn, I love any excuse to say "nor"...
:)
Update: This book might be a good companion read while watching season 3 of Real Housewives of Miami. Art imitates life. Art reflects the truth.

I would say none of the characters are likeable and I didn't root for any of them but I was still enthralled and had to know what happened!
