Made a really good impression at first, because I liked the writing. Part one I would give 3.5 stars. 
 Part 2 was way too long. I didn't enjoy being with these people, especially Richard (the narrator), because he got kind of boring. Half the time, he is sleeping. I started to think that this should have been written from the point of view of Henry, or anyone of the other interesting characters. The story really lost momentum. The funeral and the goings on before at the Corcoran's house could have been cut from the story. There are entire scenes that we didn't need to see, that could've been summed up in one sentence. 1.5 stars for part two, which leaves us with a total 2.5 stars.
