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

4.0

Painful, dark, appalling. Evokes emotion and critical thinking about the human condition. Unreliable narrator with similar internal conflicts that parallel other great works like American Psycho.
