Definitely a clever novel but one that, to me, begs the question - can't a serious novel be enjoyable to read? I'm well-read but the language had me reading with a dictionary at hand. The book seemed as self-absorbed as the characters it chronicled. I'm sorry, I know this book is wildly popular, but I was glad to be done with it.
