4.5. It seems that this wasn’t a very popular book, but I really liked it. I guess I’m just not like other girls in that way :/

zaroof's review against another edition

The writing style is extremely confusing. There wasn’t a consistent narrator, you’d read one narrator speak and then out of the blue another narrator starts to speak about a whole different topic and time and it became too frustrating to read.

Absolutely gorgeous writing with nothing but clear images along the way. This book takes you on a journey whether or not you are ready and it is worth every page. Heartbreaking, stunning, shocking and too good to put down.

when hely grows up he is going to be the worst type of man ever. its gives me chills. i loved how complex all the characters & relationships were. there are so many little details that make you feel like you are sitting there in the scene with the characters. ily Donna Tartt<3
