A review by eriniese
Tajemna historia by Donna Tartt

5.0

this book is full of terrible people tainted with probably what you might think is the worst world can offer, amoral and self-centred and completely fucked-up, but since it’s fiction i can’t even bring myself to hate them. well, maybe except bunny, but he was entertaining at times, quite funny, so i kind of feel slightly teeny tiny little bit bad for him. but he’s a racist bigot so i don’t really care /that/ much. henry is literally the worst of them all (or not! it depends on whether or not you interpret how he ended up doing things he did), but he’s also my lil meow meow and i will fight anyone to defend him. he's unhinged and insane and i absolutely love it about him. francis is also one of my favorites here, because he’s just like me (gay anxious and sewercidal). he’s also got this sensitive heart, he’s a little bit weak, and he’s so likeable; but he’s always the one that seems to exist without much hope, a bit hysterical. he was also the one who ended up being the Good one, at least it seemed that way to me. i want to step into that book and make him happy !!! it’s tearing me apart. i also feel super bad for charles; he’s the one who had to deal with all the aftermath, and in the end he’s made into this ruined person. he’s not a saint, but there’s something weirdly likeable about him. camilla, on the other hand, has the guts to be unapologetic, she’s distant and mysterious and cold and I LOVE HER.
