I was completely absorbed in this story but I didn't want to be... something kept drawing me in even though the characters (and all their actions) were pretty darn awful. I read a review that called it a why-duunit instead of a who-dunnit, and I think that unique angle on the story is what made this book so impressive. That and the writing style which was beautiful. Overall a good read but I was in a better mood once I finished it.
