Not a single one of these characters is likeable (perhaps maybe Georges LaForgue), so I just did not care one bit about what happened to them. And what on earth is with everyone
In terms of the plot, it’s incredibly repetitive and moves frustratingly slowly. Aside from the two or three main events that take place in this story, there is just far too much waiting around, moving back and forth between locations, and nothing happening for my liking. I honestly don’t understand the point of large chunks of this novel, nor certain characters who do not affect the story or world whatsoever.
I thought the ending was pretty bizarre too. Why did it become a

I think this book heavily falls off after Bunny dies, but i still liked it. I think it's good that Henry died, Charles maybe would have been better that way too. I'm glad Camilla got away even tho she's not happy. I wish Francis and Richard could be happy and together and not married to random girls.
