Very graphic depictions of drug abuse, grief, suicide, and addiction! Watch out if that could bother you.lambclown's review against another edition

I wrote an extremely long review of this book but the app crashed, which perhaps is symbolic of the book itself. I will try again, however.
This book is filled with death. It’s ever present, haunts every page. Theo Decker’s life is a tragedy. This whole book paints the unfairness of life, and the absurdity of living. Yet, even with that tragedy, he loves. At his lowest points he has a support system, in fact he has many. He is surrounded by love even when he thinks he’s lost it, and this causes him to be forced to reflect on his actions and their impacts on others. Because he does many stupid things in this book, pero, as my mother would say, así es la vida.
Love is irrational and foolish, and yet we keep on loving. It exists in pain, but like hope, prevails. That’s awfully trite, I’m aware, but alas. Of course, this isn’t a book solely about the beauty of life or whatever, and to say that would be… well, stupid is a word. Because, as I mentioned, life is unfair. It’s blind with its cruelty, and this is a book about reckoning with that. It’s about realizing that you’ll never be the person you were ever again, and that well, maybe that’s alright.
I have a lot of feelings when it comes to this book. It’s all very… conflicted, but all in all I think I loved it. I loved reading this book. I couldn’t put it down, which is an amazing feeling (as destructive as it is). I love reading. Thank you, Donna Tartt. I don’t know what else to say.
“This is too long” I LOVE 800 PAGE BOOKS !!!
