A review by pacardullo
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

4.0

Fascinating story that details the lead up to and aftermath of a murder. We know who the victim and perpetrators are in the first two sentences, but that makes what follows all the more intriguing. This is not a story with likeable characters - with the main cast being over-privileged, self-indulgent college students. You may want to punch most of them in the face, or at least slap them silly, but you will also want to know the "whys" of the central event and then will want to stick around to see how this affects the group dynamics afterwards.
