The characterization of the main character Theo really makes you feel attached to him which helps progress the plot. And Donnas writing style is so immersive I felt like I was really along for the ride. My only issues with The Goldfinch were that the over-all message was common but not stated any differently than it normally is; and that it tended to be slow in some places.
