The characters were all terrible people doing the best they could without any context as to why they were going what they were doing. A pretty awful place to start, yet I found this book funny at times and wonderfully ironic throughout. Every time I thought I had a handle on the story, it would shift directions without detracting me from the center of the plot. Really fun.
