Nearly all of the characters in this book are awful people.

I don't usually subscribe to the view that a main character has to be sympathetic. I can certainly enjoy a book with flawed characters, antiheroes, or one written from the point of view of a villain. But reading this, I learned that I get very little enjoyment from a book where every character is self-centered, petulant, lazy, cruel, vindictive, or violent.
