There are some beautiful passages. Some interesting parts of the story. But overall I find his character to be too single facetted. Hes good looking, charming, and people just love him. Where he started was interesting, his messed up family but him being a lovable "con man" just isn't enough. I hope he gets a little of his come uppens in the last 150 pages of this book, or is at least more obviously seen through.

Like Mary Supreme but supremely superior in every conceivable way

Took me 5 Thomas Mann novels to get to a bdsm sex scene.

This is the best first 40 pages of a book I've ever read.
