Absolutely loved it at first and could not put it down. Now about 3/4 finished and all the characters have grown tiresome.

This is what one might call an Important Book. But incredibly readable, endlessly fascinating, and depressing as hell. Nothing has changed.

Early on in this book there’s a line to the effect there are no bad books, just books that are not right for you right now, or something like that. That’s how I feel about this book. About 3/4 of the way through, and in the midst of this f’ed-up world we are currently living in, I’m not sure a dark tale of f’ed-up people is the book I really need right now.
