The Secret History by Donna Tartt
1.0
I'm angry. Angry at myself for not listening to my gut and DNFing this book by 20% in, like I should have. I feel like this book is like the Emperor's New Clothes, people just say they like it so they don't feel like they're foolish because, it's actually garbage.
This is, supposed to be, I guess, some kind of.. thriller? I am not sure, as it moves like molasses. I'd say about 10% of it is interesting/riveting at best. The characters are poorly built, and there are just way too many of them. There is a lot of talk about how everyone adores the weird Classics professor, but there's very little of his character actually featured in the book.
This feels like an overwrought, ego led, takes itself way too seriously, pile of flaming garbage. Wow. What a waste of time.
