Fiendish and brutal, closer to Waugh or Highsmith than many best sellers. Captures the horror of making friends at college then realizing these bastards are around you now allllll the time.

One of the best books I have ever read… Donna Tartt slowly fed you with fear of secrets, exponentially making you develop hatred to a character and at the end still surprise you.
