The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

3.0

It wasn't until the end of this book I realized how much I enjoyed it, at least realizing Theo's growth. However, there were times where moments felt incredibly slow paced. The last 20 pages alone are, perhaps, my most favorite writing of anything I have read in my life thus far. Perhaps I'm biased towards Theo's sentiments in the closure of his story, but it made me feel very calm to find solace in a certain place in my own life, although I'm not sure if the 'message' conveyed is as apparent as Tartt wanted, but maybe this ambiguity was intentional for the reader to realize just as Theo does himself.
