A review by lillyturmel
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

adventurous dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

While really interesting and definitely mysterious, it's 200 pages too long and the second 'book' didn't really add much for me.
It was too good at being a satire that it was no longer really satirical and instead made excuses for the characters and glorified their actions.
