Goldfinch is the kind of book that you have to reread pages often while completing it because of how beautifully and expertly it is written you don’t want to miss the art in the words Donna Tartt is able to create
A clear deserve on the Pulitzer. Very well written, and I wasnt especially a Donna Tartt fan before I ended up somewhere where it's all I had to read. And I am very thankful for that.

Brutal, haunting, relentless, giving all the existentialism at the end.

This is one of the longest books I have read in a very long time but it was worth it in the end!
I love Donna Tartt’s writing. Her characters feel so REAL. Like I can actually picture them and their voice in my head. They are all so incredibly unique and easy to differentiate.
This felt like a modern classic and an epic tale.
I think the story as a whole deserves 5 stars but my overall enjoyment waned and increased many time throughout it. Sometimes I was thinking “is this really necessary to the plot/overall story”? But in the end I don’t think there is much I would actually end up cutting out. It’s a coming of age mixed with some intrigue and mystery and thrills at the end.
If you love character building, this is one for you.
It’s refreshing to see a morally-grey MC because I found myself not really having hopes or expectations of the story, rather I was just along for the ride, which I think is how it was intended.
