adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

The amount of people who say this book is uneffective and that it just ends up romanticising what it was criticising is insane. It's stupidly good at what it does... it made me sick to my stomach multiple times (therefore it is brilliant).  Plus Tartt makes 600 pages feel like 50, it reads that well.
