 The writing is entincingly unreliable and the characters are intricate and complex.
 At each time you read it you end up catching new details and nuances about the events that happend.
 During the reading, the purpuse of the critic against the Academia itself is almost lost as you and the narrator become enchanted with the surroundings of the university, and the eccentric greek club (which the history centers).
