The novel is more character driven than plot, and the author makes the characters so interesting that even though they are possibly the worst people to read about because of their abysmal personalities and habits they are nevertheless entertaining. The characters are fully fleshed out which is impressive for how short the book is. The plot that is there unwinds at a decent pace and keeps you engaged, causing you to want to see how all of the events play out and connect to the past.
