I don`t even know what to say about this. I just feel empty after reading this, like I don`t know what to do with my life.
Not in a very long time has a book captivated me the way that this has. I was and still am constantly thinking about it and I literally physically couldn`t put it down.
I can`t even really explain this and I think I will need some more time before I can properly find the words to describe my feelings towards this. I just know already though that this is going to stay with me for the rest of my life and that there will not be a day where I don`t think about this.
I almost feel like pulling a Dorian Gray, buying several copies of this book and binding them in different colours to fit my various moods.
 

I just wished that Richard just came out of the fucking closet already and got together with Francis. The two of them would`ve made so much more sense together than him and Camilla (whatever that was anyways). And no matter how many times he tries to convince me he`s straight, I will not believe him. His actions just speak against him. No straight man talks about his male friends the way he does. And even the way that he talks about Camilla just screams closeted queer man at me. Anyways, Francis deserved better!

I've never once in my life wanted to analyze a book actively and in-debth before I read this book. I feel like I have to re-read to catch all the nuances

So... I was dissapointed? I liked how it was written even though the chapters were extemely long. I liked how it was litterary yet simple. Also, I liked how themes like murders, cover tracks, etc., were discussed as it was normal?   

Like, the characters were talking about murdering a friend as if they were organizing a dinner together. It was normal.   

  Tartt made us feel a some sort of empathy (?) for the characters making us see them as normal people, good people when they are not.
However, I really didn't like how long it was for nothing. It was as if nothing was happening for 600 pages.   

It was repetitive. Murder, get away from suspicions, afraid that someone will tell the truth to the police so a little murder to take care of it.

It was the same storyline two times in one book. Everyone was important yet they were irrelevant. The end felt also rushed. 
Good book, I still recommended it for people who dont really know if they should or not.
