I feel like I need to read that book again to fully understand it, but generally i did like the mood and it made me reflect on a lot of things, which I guess is the goal.

I really liked this. All the characters are very interesting and would be for analysis. It was really good, I really liked it. I think it’ll stay with me and I’ll be rereading it in some form soon.

The Secret History includes some of the most sublime and sinister descriptions I have ever read. We get to witness how each character deceives us due to their two sided personalities that is gradually revealed in the text; as soon as you begin to become fond of someone, it’s as if their whole personality was a facade to their true identity. My main complaint for this book is that it’s too long for the story it follows and could have easily been condensed into half its size; the first 300 pages was purely just context, some of which isn’t used or referred to later on in the text.

Greek students turn their own life into a Greek tragedy. Deranged, mysterious, picturesque. Six out of five stars.

The first half was great, I was excitedly trying to see what’ll happen next. But after the actual murder, the book went all over the place. It was confusing, all over the place and wasn’t as fun to read.
