The Secret History by Donna Tartt
dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
2.0
Wayyyy too fucking long, could have been half the pages
Incredibly boring
chapters way too long
I liked the friendship ig, but Henry was the only thing that held them together, also both murders seem to be the only reason for the close friendship
Why is Camilla only a romantic interest? No real personality? Still ig my favourite character (Also Francis was fine)
Don‘t really get why Henry offed himself?? Why not let Charles take the fall for what he did?
TF WAS WITH THE INCEST
TF WAS WITH THE „I want to rape her“ i mean, what is wrong with you? why are you THIS obsessed????
So much romanticising: Henry with the murder, of each character basically - Charles was my fave at first ???? HOW
- Julian was also fine but why doesn’t he have any friends his own age?? and why are his students his only personality??
why tf was the beginning SO LONG and the end so short?????
also WHY WAS BASICALLY HENRY THE ONLY ONE ON CAMILLAS SIDE AFTER CHARLES ABUSED HER
