picked up patricia because i wanted to read the book the cover blurbs were raving about. i still want to read that book. this is not that book.

self-indulgent and dragging first and second acts are so caught up in the characters, complexes, and institutions they're lampooning that they end up almost as vapid and certainly as weightless. satire requires clarity of purpose and target etc etc 

was originally going to give this a 2.5, but a satisfying—if unearned, and unsubstantiated—third act brought it up a bit.

ultimately, i can't help but feel like this is a book that's begging to get picked up for a movie deal, which would probably be the best fate for it. it'd certainly make a better (clearer, better constructed, more precise) movie than it does a novel.

Loved this book sm! Had expected it to be more horror than satire and felt the horror lacked a tiny bit, but everything else made up for it. Such a fun, strange little book and haven’t read anything like it. This was really the perfect reading experience. It was fast paced, funny and strange enough to make it a memorable read.
