A review by loonaglow
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

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

4.0

donna tartt, you are a genius for making so many characters so dislikable at times ( they all need therapy). the foreshadowing throughout the book was so clever. 

the only thing i didn’t enjoy was that her writing is mainly description focused, sometimes i wished we got a bit more of the plot rather than visuals.
