Imperium by Christian Kracht

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

The characters are overdrawn prototypes that remain two-dimensional and have no depth or potential for identification. They are drawn too ironically to be tragic figures or even to be recognisable as human beings. Feels arrogant. 
Not really bad, just boring.
