An interesting character study. I didn't like any of the characters. But their actions and thoughts were interesting to see.

Defos living lives that I cannot relate with.

idk, obvs the point of the book is the people and not what is happening to them, and their personalities are fleshed out and believable. I'd rather have read about what happened than these particular unlikeable character tho.
