I read this for a class, so I won't be writing a whole review.
I did enjoy reading this book; the chapters are often quite short, and I found a lot of humour in some of them. That being said, the main interest of this book is the double reading one can make of it, because of the unreliability of the narrator. This aspect, though entertaining, didn't captivate my intention that much, and I found myself often wishing I was already done with the story. That might be a side-effect of this being assigned reading as well, so do bear it in mind.
