I don't want to spoil anything for readers so I won't give any particulars. I'll just say that I did not find the characters particularly likeable or interesting --including the narrator/main protagonist-- and therefore it was hard to care about what happened to them. The one sympathetic character (in my opinion) came to a bad end. Also, I couldn't see how the ending of the story was justified (logically) by what went before. It seemed as if the author decided on the ending and then wrote a story that went before it timewise but didn't really lead up to it convincingly. I seem to be in a minority here and the book is not very expensive so you won't lose much if you give it a try. I did like the novel "Macbeth" which was cowritten by the author of this book so I will probably read another story by him sooner or later.
