donna tartt is able to paint a scene so well with the language that she chooses. the characters feel real - while they could all fall into stereotypes quite easily (henry, the serious, studious boy with a dark nature. bunny, the playboy coasting by on forcing others' hand to generosity. etc.), they never come off as caricatures. their personalities and struggles feel believable and, even though they're all horrible people when it comes down to it, you're able to sympathize with them when need be. and those types of characters make a story.

okay coming back to this im knocking it down a bit because thinking back, there were some really unnecessary misogynist and homophobic undertones that grated on me while reading this. like camilla was the most well-rounded and thought out female character and she still was only a sex object for the other main characters. and at times this book was incredibly boring and if i didn’t have my deadline it would have taken me much longer to get through it.
