The second feature of this novel is the slow pace and slow progress of the story. There are still people who prefer the author to go straight to the point and not be constantly chased.
If you are one of these people, I have to say that the guestbook is an exception. As soon as you start studying, you will enjoy the tension that the fire is getting. You will become a fan of the groom’s infamous friends and their childish behavior, and you will be fascinated by the various, rich and thirsty characters of the story.
