This book was like a race focused version of the Great Gatsby. It has a lot of the ideas of that book and is set around the same time. I liked the psychological elements of the book, but the characters got on my nerves a bit. I loved the ending, it was so crazy and shocking! All together kinda eh, but still overall ok.
