A review by nicolleschumacher
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark funny mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Truly a masterpiece of literature. The writing is beautiful and evocative. My only qualm with it is the unnecessary amount (meaning adding nothing to the plot or characters) of racist tirades.
