Do people like this because it's good? Or because it's old? Frankly there was little to like. The writing style was like I was being told a story secondhand. I don't need a lot of flowery descriptions but come on, give me a little more.

Also there was probably only one character who wasn't a piece of crap and we don't even see a lot of them. 

After the time jump the story becomes fragmented and convoluted and then ends as suddenly as a power outage. 

Mediocre at best.
