Noped out at the rape scene.
Should have done it a couple of minutes earlier, at the beating, but unfortunately I persevered. My mistake.

Amazing how almost all reviews and summaries use euphemisms like 'cruel father' or 'abusive father' instead of calling him what he really is, a pedophile and a child rapist.

My mistake, again, for not reading beforehand the author's biography.

I have enormous respect for the author for overcoming the horrendous things that happened to him in his childhood; but I am obviously not an intellectual enough to read satire about children being raped by their fathers as an entertainment. (

I really shouldn't enjoy these novels. All the characters are vacuous bastards whose thin veneer of polished manners hide a vile nest of hatred, bigotry, and judgement.

And yet I can't look away. The characters fascinate me. The situations are entertaining as hell, and the narrative style is wonderful.

I love these books. And it's nice to see some of the stuff from book one paying off in this third volume. (

Scathing (and very funny) analysis of the shallow nature of upper class society, told through many points of view. Every character is caught up in their own bubble of existence and Patrick is beginning to gain some awareness of what constitutes his own. In these later passages, we are afforded a glimpse into his nascent compassion, and his growing ambivalence to his own irony. Brilliant book. (

I can't say I enjoyed these, as I felt repulsed by virtually every character, but felt compelled to carry on reading. Won't read the rest of the series though. (
