If you've read BEE before, you know what you're getting into. Interesting writing and a distinct voice. Fascinating narrative choices with a twist that makes you question everything. He never wants you to know what's real and what isnt and that is buzzing throughout the whole book. Also in true Ellis fashion, it's repetitive at times and a but too long.
