The writing is flows along effortlessly and the well-depicted characters make this an easy and entertaining read, but at times I didn't like reading about most of these people. (For a lot of the book, this was only a 2 star read). I started to get really turned off by Leo, and I didn't buy that his character would act that way and do what he did. The only way I would buy that is if he had been depicted as purely pathological, but flash-back tried to make him sympathetic. Didn't fit. 
 About the other siblings, I went back and forth caring and not caring about their predicaments. They still had way more money than most people, so who cares? 
 I have to give this three stars because even though some of the writing was eye-roll inducing, I have to give credit to the book for eliciting emotions (a strong hate for Leo). Also I liked that some characters showed decency in the end. (But please, that chapter where the baby is delivered was so cliche and hacky--a forty-something year old would not pop out a baby that fast. Please take that scene away from my brain).
