donna tartt is such a wonderful author. the way she writes men in love is gonna get me every time. a bit slow and uneventful at times

- Never ever has a book started to strong and ended so weakly
- it all went downhill after  Vegas 
- Boris is one of my most disliked characters of all time
- So long for no reason

I would’ve loved to give it 5 stars as the story and writing is superb. But this book DRAGGED. I had to force myself to finish it cause I wanted to see where it went. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to finish it. -1 star for how much it dragged and basically said nothing with the most amount of beautifully written words. -1 another star as almost all the characters spoke almost exclusively in monologues, and that got very tired very quickly
