The Secret History by Donna Tartt
5.0
dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Wonderfully spun, intense story with beautiful language.
Donna Tart makes you hate bunny and understand the implied necessity behind the murder right up until he is thrown from the edge of the cliff. And then, you simply miss him. From then on your nerves are parallel with Richard’s and I found myself swelling with emotion the last hundred pages. en

Gripping until the very end, and I believe I will remember these characters and  What they have done for a very long time.
