gunsambroses 's review for:

The Secret History by Donna Tartt
2.5
challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

After having been recommended this book dozens of times across my academic and professional career, I can only believe that the people who recommended it have never actually read it themselves. Extremely overblown and unworthy of its legacy.
