I enjoyed the story, but i thought it would be better. The end was not that good for me and i couldn't remember anymore who was who out of the guests hahaha. I think they were different from each other, but not too memorable. The main character is a pain. He just thinks he is smarter than everyone (oh boy, so annoying sometimes hahaha), but i liked the humor of the narative. In general, i think the story was entertaning, but it could have had a better plot twist and characters more distinguishable. It looks like the author is able to make you imagine a lot of plots but he didn't really deliver them in this book.
