1 abusive character for first 100 pages Murder/Injuries are described but kind of artistically They are hedonistic with alcohol, drugs, and sex.

I honestly don't know how to rate this book. I liked the theatrical structure/nature and all the Shakespearean nods. I had a really hard time liking the characters, and at the same time, I had a hard time disliking them. Half the plot felt extraneous, but I couldn't tell you what to take out. In other words, I'm a bit perplexed after reading this...
