Pros
- Hilarious dialogue. "He was a pile of American garbage and she feared she would love him forever "
- Fascinating and weird characters (The apartment guests are the weirdest crew I've ever encountered )
- Strange situations and behaviour (Mme. Reynard and Malcolm... enough said )
- Surprisingly likeable portrayal of the wealthy
Cons
- Still trying to understand the overall themes/message of the book, however that also means it gave me a lot to think about
-Not crazy about the conclusion to the epilogue or "coda". Why are the nuns spinning away in eddies? I don't understand why this sentence was chosen to end the book
