I found this audiobook a difficult listen. The audio quality is poor and Donna Tart as the narrator did not make much sense, she may be  good writer but she is not a great narrator and the fact this story largely focuses on a group of young men, having a woman as their voice was often distracting and often took me out of the story. I cant say I understand the hype around this book. There's about 300 pages worth of waffle and the characters are all unlikable, unrelatable and pretentious. Im ok with morally grey characters but the were just boring. It's not a terrible book its just ok.
