If you liked the satirical sendup of those well-heeled desparates living for attention, status and societal expectations of The Bonfire of the Vanities, you will love this book. I have laughed out loud on nearly every page. There are sympathic characters for which one cheers, not knowing if they will achieve the freedom, ill-gained riches or peace they and you want for them.

I plan to read other books by Sagan but have to finish this first, a wonderful 448 pages.
