Terrifying and fascinating, and kept me guessing if it was an unreliable narrator, an unreliable annotator, both, or neither.  I love this style of fake history/memoir with multiple people contributing.  I choose to believe that
the publisher/annotator's constant reinforcement that this is fake and made up and of COURSE defamatory and NO ONE should believe this is in fact a complete CYA and they in fact agree in many places with the narrator.
