The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
This book is quite obviously a classic of our time. Now, did it absolutely *need* to be almost 900 pages long? No.
Anyway, all the characters feel very real and very different from one another. The storyline is interesting enough, though some parts feel a lot slower than others, where I think the main plot twist saves it.
I'm also gonna quietly mention that it took me 3 months of off-and-on reading to finish this book, which is the main reason this isn't a 5-star rating. Still, I liked it a lot, but will not be re-reading any time soon.
