Brilliant as an audiobook - Sean Barrett has the perfect world weary tone.  
Both sharply funny and despairingly bleak. The unendearing characters have one thing in common, they're where they are because they have screwed up. Royally.
It's hard to care about anyone in the book (except one), but you can't help but be fascinated by all of them.  
Definite edge of your seat finish.
Next one please!
