  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

A deeply depressing read (it’s Ellis after all) that meanders for 150 pages and then stuffs the last pages with sociopathic scenarios and on-the-nose parallel scenes.
Blair sums it up neatly at the end of the book: It’s hard to feel sorry for someone who doesn’t care.
