Review:
Honestly, I don't really have that much to say about this.

I was initially excited about this, because I knew it caused quite an uproar when it first came out, but I found the whole novel to be dull and completely uninteresting. I didn't find any of the characters interesting and didn't really connect to any of them. I get the satire and the critique of society, but I found I just didn't care.

I didn't really like the writing either, so I'm not really left with much after having read this, I'm afraid. Definitely not my cup of tea.
