Okay, this was a wild ride. While I understand why many people love it so much and I did like it as well, I'm not as blown away as I hoped I would be.

In a lot of ways, it was what I imagined it would be: Characters that are fascinating, but not likeable, feeling like the coolest people around and better than anyone else, while being incredibly infuriating. I liked the way this was written, this casual way in which their elitism shone through. I also liked how their behavior is absolutely absurd, but they think they're in the right for it. (Richard saying he doesn't think they're bad people is a little hilarious.)

The way they were more concerned that Bunny figured out they killed someone in some weird greek ecstasy than that they in fact that they indeed did do that? Insane.

The writing style is very fitting, Richard is obsessed with saying things in the most complicated well-sounding way. He does succeed, but in the most pretentious way possible of course. 

All in all I was entertained and fascinated and it was fun to be enraged by these people. It was a little hard to get through for me though, since it is long and very slow, which dampens my enjoyment of books most of the time. I also thought Julian would be a bigger part of this book than he was, I would've liked to see more of him and his relationship to the characters.
