I feel as if I learned more about art than anything else with this novel, not that that is inherently a bad thing. It was well written and I enjoyed a lot of it.
I liked the ideas represented in the book and the exploration of them, through the focus on privilege.

There were some over-explanatory parts and the plot was a bit lacking. I also didn't get if the novel was making fun of wealthy, white liberals or just simply describing them. There were definitely parts of Julian's character (who apparently is a real life person and recreated in this book) that I found plain ignorant. It's not exactly funny he doesn't understand his racism is racism but maybe that's who this book is geared towards anyway?
