I wasn't a fan of the first two books. Characters were written like a YA novel. But that changed in this last book. The main character sees these characters in those terms. A great end, but the slog was worth it.

A story about a man dealing with Capitalism, so doesn't work out well. But still very enjoyable, if you in enjoy postmodernism.

Wish there were more new ideas. Just giving me things I know and adding a modern twist. If you don't know anything about masadonia, I'm sure it's good.

I enjoyed it. Just read 2 other books with the plot of House of Usher. Just burnt out. So, it's definitely better then 3.5. Just too predictable for me at this time.
