A very intriguing story - honestly more a piece of literature than just a story. It had resounding characters that you pity, but don't identify with (or at least I didn't).

The opening car accident reeled me in and that's what the whole rest of the book felt like: a car accident.

Overall, I liked it, but it's definitely the type of book that would be nice to talk to someone about. Although I don't really know that I would loosely recommend it, as it is certainly not light reading, But I did think it was written better than _The Inner Circle_.
