I usually love Donna Tart but except for the last two chapters this book bored me half to death. 
I was hoping for a somewhat conclusive ending but so many questions were left unanswered, like who killed Robin, who gave that girl the gloves and what they were doing with the snakes in the first place. also all of the characters annoyed me more and more throughout the book, though I guess that's somewhat the point. 
sorry but this one wasn't my cup of tea at all.
