After I finished The Secret History I buy this one immediately because I love Tartt’s writing and I’m glad to say she did not disappoint me
The length of the book kinda overwhelmed me at first but now that I finished it, it was not a long boring book with useless description or sub-plot. It was, in fact, a really fascinating book. Although I find that some part could be cut off but it was not irritating and still enjoyable. Would definitely reread it some time.
