A review by troystory
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

5.0

This is truly one of those incredible, memorable, thought provoking books you rarely come across. I fell in love with the haunting descriptions and the dreamy, too-perfect world and characters, and the way the book was set up was riveting. You know what happens from the very beginning, but you're still caught off guard when you read it, and you hold your breath during the aftermath. The ending absolutely wrecked me, I was totally unprepared for that level of emotional attachment. It's a true testament to the power of modern literature. A must-read!
