A review by peachiisun1111
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark mysterious reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

i quite liked the style of writing but found the plot itself to become a bit of a slog after the first part of the book ended. i found theorising about it and thinking about it afterwards more enjoyable than the experience of reading the book itself.
