My only problem with this book is that it was so long (I have chronic fear of thick books syndrome), but I fear that not very much could've been taken out without impacting the introspective feeling of the story.

A part of me hoped this was just due to Tartt being a less experienced writer at the time of the book's release. So, I decided to give her a second chance and read her third published novel, The Goldfinch. And my god, were the improvements noticeable.
