A review by skeleton_ashleigh
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

2.5

It's a really well written book. The characters are all insufferable. One wants to randomly
rape
his friend. Another has surprise
incest
. Then characters felt 2D with their problematic behavior. 
The book should have been half as long as it is. 
Also, while I usually love when authors read their own books... this is pretty badly done. Bunny's accent was painful. 

It felt like a book that wanted to teach us something, but wasn't quite able to make it there. The only character I liked was the token woman. Because someone has to exist to be
abused


But again, really pretty prose.
