I don't know if I would say that it's "good" but it did have a devastating emotional impact on 13 year old me. A fun time.

Theodore Decker is one of the world's messiest main characters and I have become captivated by him. Despite the plot involving high stakes art theft, the novel is really more of a psychological look into the world of the worlds most fucked up little guy. The writing of Theo as "what if Pip from great expectations did a lot of drugs and lied constantly?" is really very good and I probably could have read 1600 pages of this insufferable idiot. Obviously the prose was very good and the philosophical topics around death and eternity were very poignant and whatnot but also. gay dog called poppers. you know? Also, I think if Theo just owned up to the fact that he was gay it would solve, like, at least a third of his problems. Had a great time, would read again.
