hannahalbregts 's review for:

The Secret History by Donna Tartt
5.0
challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
The Secret History was amazing, a book deserving five stars but at the same time not deserving any. The characters were all horrible to themselves and each other, and their situation is tense, but it will be worth every second of reading. I think I'll never read a story like this again, with such an accurate satire and critique to pretentiousness.
