kattisch 's review for:

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

3.0

---

I enjoyed the writing style and story-telling, however I'm not really sure why the author chose to tell this story. Even though it didn't resonate with me, I respect how Tartt really explored each character's development, not skipping over explanations just to cut down on page-length - actually showing the consequences of the characters' actions. It was definitely long, but I would have faulted the author had it been 300 pages shorter.
