A psychologically violent book, I thought the characters were very realistically human. The story is perhaps most disturbing not because of the murder mystery, but because it is a beautiful portrait of how the humans destroy themselves, and others, in many ways. The ending left a bit to be desired, but it left me with a sense of dissatisfaction and melancholy fitting to the themes of the book.
