This book was crazy. A lot of WTF moments. Moments where I completely identified with Quentin, usually followed by moments in which I completely hated him. The writing is good, but sort of pretentious. I have a good vocabulary but there were a ton of words I had to look up, that weren't necessary, at all. I mean, I liked learning new words, but damn dude, three a page is a bit much. But, the story and characters hold up, and I'll be back for the next book.
