It was in that's an Esoteric read. It's a story about a group of white kids. I'm getting away with murder. Can tell that from the summary. And?
It's filled with this beautiful language that at times it could be hard to follow or hard to keep going because of the tangents. She, you could take, but when she grabbed your attention again. It made clear as to wht it became so popular of a novel. A classic in dark academia.

Ο Henry είναι απλά η ψευτοκουλτουριάρικη και lowkey κοινωνιοπαθητική έκδοση της Πέγκυς Καρράς

I have mixed feelings about this book. I couldn't decide whether to give it 3 stars or 4. I might change it later mainly because i just finished it.
Donna Tartt, in my opinion, is an incredible author; she has a beautiful way with words and she has the talent to play with your emotions throughout the whole book. I have one main problem with this book.
I hate big and unnecessary descriptions. And i dislike when the narrator slows down the plot just to describe me something. And this book is full with descriptions. I promise you -and believe me when i say this- this book could have been way smaller if half of these descriptions were removed and NOTHING would be changed in the plot. Absolutely nothing. Everybody is saying that the first a hundred pages are hard to get through because it is not that interesting but i didn't find them that hard. It sets up the story without it being rushed. What i found hard to go through were the two hundred that followed (up until the 300th page/the end of the first book).
Apart from that it was a great experience. The last two hundred pages flew really fast, i did not even notice how easy it was to read them. Overall i liked the book, it just that sometimes it was kinda tiring.

It is a slow burn, this isn’t going to be a fast read…but as it got closer to the end the more I couldn’t put it down. I found myself thinking more and more about the characters… who was the ring leader? How did they go from one problem to the next and make the choices they did? The group or mob mentality was interesting.
