I didn't really like this as much as I thought I was, it being a must-read masterpiece and all. 
Structurally it's great, language is plain and matter-of-fact, characters are entirely reprehensible. 
I don't like the narration style, I would prefer something with a bit more depth. 
Also, the second to last chapter is shit and should have been left out entirely.
