piburnjones 's review for:

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
4.0

Beautifully written and carefully plotted, with surprises I never saw coming. A book to savor and return to and discuss, if not a likely candidate for loved-to-pieces favorite. And I still think it would have been a better book at 500-600 pages than it is at 700 (...she says of the Pulitzer-winning novel, cough).
