It was fine tbh. Seeing a lot of people dislike this book but I thought it was fine. Yea the characters are pretty shit at times but I listened to the audiobook and it was perfectly enjoyable while doing my work, so maybe it depends on how you're consuming the book. If you're into the making a bet, some cheating and manipulation then it's right up your alley. It's not overwhelming and I wasn't too bothered but if you really hate those things then yea it's not for you.
