I've been meaning to read this for a while. I thought it was pretty good. The characters were pretty unlikeable which I think they're supposed to be, but they were interesting, which is more important for a story like this. I didn't love it as much as I thought I was going to, but it's a solid book with an engaging story and I can see why it's so popular.
