I am not quite done but I thought the writing was fantastic. Really sharp and descriptive. I also thought that he did hate HH as well as most all the other characters, or at least was mocking them mercilessly. What I found so good was his ability to paint each character to believably. The first wife, the first wife's lover, HH's reaction to that situation, but especially HH and his first love. The subject matter was tricky but at some point the story was beyond that. It was about manipulation and desires and who we really are underneath all the exterior crap we show the world.

And I've never heard that theory about Charlie Chaplin. Interesting, since he was always into young girls, even before Oona O'Neil (who, by the way, was always into much older guys). I'm going to check that out. Any links?
