The story is good and maybe it was the audio performances that made it difficult for me to listen to.
I enjoyed the story as an Allegory. I don't know that I'd read it again but I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to others.

A dark and gothic book with a slow plot; it takes a while for things to happen which is a little annoying, and has caused my rating to be lower, but it makes sense for you to be able to understand the plot.
As things went on, you could see links forming. The plot is written and formed in depth with things hinting to each other.
I found the ending satisfying although somewhat predictable. A metaphor for capitalism amongst other things, this novel can be seen as a horror story and social commentary.
Would recommend.
