The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

2.0

I’m giving this book a two because I don’t remember the last time I had to drag myself through a book this much. Overall it was alright, and there were definitely parts I liked, but so much of it just dragged on with no apparent purpose. The ending also felt unnecessary, each character giving their own philosophical speech, as if the author was really trying to make sure the reader understood what the whole book was getting at, without just letting the reader figure that out for themselves.
