A definite nihilistic oddessy of a novel that at times felt similar to when you're trying to meet a page number requirement on an essay. Aside from the occasional meandering (which I'm sure was intentional but alot more could've been cut from the final draft honestly) Tartt's prose is absolutely stunning as always.

the way non-white characters are described is horrid. The language is wonderful (the poetry of the words is unmatched. Never knew English could be such a beautiful language.), if it wasn't for the racism I would have enjoyed this book, I guess.
