The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
5.0
absolutely incredible. surpasses the Secret History by miles.
every scene was a page-turner and I spent one very, very long day doing nothing but reading this book because I couldn't stand not to! takes you so far out of reality you forget you're not living in new york falling in love with beautiful redheads and russian-australian alcoholics. boris is hilarious and so ridiculously true-to-life I almost believed he was real. theo is a sad sad tormented boy. everything cleans up so neatly. i love this book.
maybe i'll think of some flaws later but right now... wow. no spoilers, but the ending is profound beyond description!!! Tartt put some of her soul in this novel.
i'm scared to watch the movie because (although it looks pretty and fairly accurate to my mental picture) what if it ruins everything beautiful?!?!
