This book haunted (har har, get it) my nightstand for months, waiting to be finished. Just couldn't bring myself to care what happened to the horribly unlikable, disgusting, 2-dimensional characters in their boring world. Probably the clincher was when a character doesn't notice her own buttcheek has been removed.
If you want something like this book but good, check out the stories of Edogawa Ranpo, particularly the story 'the Red Chamber.'
