I don’t think I have enough words to eloquently describe the ride this book is. I don’t even want to comment anything about the plot because I feel like this is one of those books that is better served blindly, I promise you, it won’t not disappoint.
Do yourself a favor and if you haven’t yet read this book. It will make you gasp aloud, it will keep you on the edge of your sit, it will make you question everything, and more importantly it will completely take you by surprise.
This is the first Tartt book I read and without a doubt, I will be reading more of her stuff. Her writing is inviting, it grabs you from the get go and it hold you tightly until the end. She is very descriptive and telling, but at the same time she gives the reader the time to create their own narrative.
Absolutely loved the way this book was divided and separated.
What a masterpiece of a book. I feel like I went through so much at the end of it.
