This is a very depressing book, but I went in knowing that.
I really enjoyed the prose, the characters and the relationships. It does have a lot of purple prose, so if that's not your flavor then I wouldn't read it. But I felt that it really worked.
The relationships were all very well done, but somehow the parent-child relationship between Sony and Eric really stuck out to me. I felt like it was really well done, and that one scene (no spoilers) broke my heart.
I guessed the "deal" with the main character, but I still feel like it was well told and well revealed.
