A review by deanab
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

2.0

All I have to say is finally. I enjoyed the story until about page 500 even though I struggled in the beginning to determine the year. I decided to give up on understanding the date/societal references and just read. By page 500, I honestly didn’t care anymore. I almost gave up entirely but felt that I had invested too much time so I skipped a lot of pages to get to the end. I think this book could have been an excellent read for me because the story was one I could have enjoyed if a lot of the repeated details could have been removed. However, I also think these details may have been what a lot of people enjoyed.
