Five of the seven major characters practiced the religion of self-delusion. Of the other two, one decidedly abstained and one would never be pinned down. Peeking at the movie summary was not a plot spoiler.

The most depressing book ever. Really just bleak and awful. I have to respect the writing though, because he makes you feel a part of the misery.
