A review by norabee
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

definitely not what i expected (i had anticipated a lot more julian considering how hyped up he is). also justice for camilla, the only character i could stand. 

had the feel of a mid 20th century novel where the 'main character' is more narrator than character. a bystander that allows you to take his place and perspective.

overall infuriating but intoxicating (somewhere between a 3.75-4)
