Not an enjoyable book, but certainly one that has a lot to say. I want to read an analysis of it, because I feel like I have no idea what it was truly about. Very thought provoking though, in many ways...

Considering I really did not find any of the characters loveable, and I didn't like any of the relationships presented, I still wanted to keep reading and liked it.
