The story was a decay of Anthony, slow but persistent. Worst thing is, in my bad moments I can relate to a lot of his character traits, so it came as a warning of sorts :)
He is lost in ideals but is unable to try to make them real. Nothing is good enough, no effort is worthwile. He feels entiteled to things, has a short attention span and lacks will - starts few things and gets discouraged at first difficulty. The book was a very good show in how dangerous these (in)actions are, the step-by-step deterioration...
Despite all this it was a bit chaotic sometimes and overall deserving of 4,5 stars.
