Absolutely loved the immersiveness of this book and the world that Donna Tartt creates. Could have benefitted from some editing. The ending didn’t quite have the emotional payoff that you’d hope after a 700+ page book, but otherwise a beautiful read.

the book of a lifetime. i’m so lucky to have found it so early on, and so glad it exists. my heart is full just thinking about how much i love it and the level in which it’s engrained into my own self.

I hate to say it but if I could rate this 0 stars I would. Ended up in the DNF pile. Very pretentious and way too long for what it needed to be

Snoooooozzzeee

On my audible i kept upping the speed to get it done.
Honestly,
If it was about half the length, it would have been great. So many story lines were dragged out way too long or not needed

As Theo says himself, "it’s really very personal and specific"
