What Members Thought
This may be my favorite book because of its pure decadence. It is selfish, macabre and ridiculous. I love it.
Usually I do not like books that are descriptive or the ones that have a lot bigger descriptive part than an action part. Well this one is an exception. It has something that appealed me from the first pages. I cannot tell not even now what it was. Maybe Des Esseintes, the main character, maybe the setting. I am not sure.
