No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The book gets pretty repetitive fast, as a lot of the chapters are just characters who get mentioned out of nowhere, just dying and it happens again and again. It definitely gets old quick however I did like the closing chapters for they gave a breathe of fresh air and broke the cycle of person A dying to person B only to be killed by person C. Homer doesn't shy away in detail of the death of these characters which are usually somewhat descriptive which is pretty nice else the book would overstay it's welcome even more in my eyes.
