5.0

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to love–and even enjoy– this book as much as I did. Sincerely, this might be a new favorite of mine. Tartt, in my opinion, did a great job writing the complex group of friends with a somewhat dubious admiration for their professor that would culminate in their inevitable corruption. I honestly can't recommend it enough, a great read, a must read!
