Oh. My. God. I don't know what to say about this book. It was absolutely facinating. Would I agree with the character's actions? Usually, no. But seeing how they justified and reasoned things was intriguing.
Tartt wrote this scary realistic; I could see this events taking place with unnerving ease. And the characters were incredibly well-written. They were fleshed out, even as they spiraled out of sanity. All in all, this was an amazing read.
