"Harry you are the image of their fear. Medea, mad with vengeance. That little monster has climbed out of the box, hasn't it? It isn't nearly grown yet, not nearly grown"

plot: compelling
writing: masterful - multiple narrators/transcripts/reviews/etc...really worked
conceit as academic book: interesting enough, but all the footnotes? eh.
philosophy/psychology: became tedious
