It's just American Dorian Gray meets Masque of the Red Death. 4 stars because only one millionaire dies and the use of "ejaculated an unrestrained "Huh!"'
Unlike most Americans, I did not read this in high school. I probably would have hated it if I had. My fellow classmates had given me a view of this book that was completely shattered when I started and I can see why it's hailed as The Great American Novel.
