I think this was a solid book. Considering it is a classic, it was very easy to read. I didn’t really love the story, I think because there are morally grey character and I don’t think I like them that much. All the characters were kind of flat too. That being said, the themes were really good, but they were sometimes hard to find. I don’t think I got all that I could since it took me so long to read, but I would still recommend it to mostly everyone.

It somewhat picked up the pace in the end but not much happens until half way through the book. Prior to that it's all just unlikeable characters bantering and being ever so clever or ever so dramatic. It was OK.
