This book was fine. I can see why some people like it, but I'm surprised it's as popular as it is. 

I listened to a few parts as the audio book which is narrated by Donna Tartt which is quite nice. 

There were a few things I disliked. 
-It mainly seems to be vibes, with a few shock moments thrown in. It's a thriller, I guess, so that is fine. But then why is it 600 pages long. The pacing is off, the book often drags. 
-Lack of female charcters. 
-The

twincest

seemed super unecessary and I felt the

domestic violence

was very poorly handled. 
-Something about the way the book treats homosexuality gave me the ick.

Okay, I’m sorry but why do you make the main character the most BORING character. He seems to miss everything and you just get recounts of what happened in dialogue - which isn’t bad by any means, but it’s not the most thrilling to hear second hand stories all the way through. Loved the first 300ish pages but then it dragged on.

did we really need to walk through the entirety of Bunny’s funeral?? absolutely not.

Judy Poovey is the protagonist, queen, and saving grace for the Boring Richard and I will die on this hill.
