A review by rachelkb
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

From page to page and paragraph to paragraph, I loved and hated The Goldfinch.

I've never felt so conflicted about a novel--I didn't know if I wanted to abandon it or stay up all night to finish it. The beginning and ending were perfect--gorgeous writing and thinking. It's the meat of the story that riled me up, confused and sometimes left me cold.

This book was a challenge to get through, but a beautiful monster of a challenge.
