I’m not done yet, but this book has many unexpected twists & turns. Very nicely written. I’m about 3/4 through and have no clue how this story will end. I can’t imagine what it took to weave this tale. Remarkable!

If this book cut out 1/3 - 1/2 of the wasted run on sentences (one took up 1/3 of a page) this could have been a far better novel. I struggled and got through half and it has been siting there for two years waiting to be completed. For someone who reads I book or more a week, It took me three weeks to struggle through half of the book. I think I"ll just look up the synopsis on line and then donate the book rather than take it on vacation to try and finish. The plot intrigued me but the writing is boring. I wish she would have just gotten to the point. She must have been paid per word on this book.

What I’ve read so far has kept my attention, like the authors writing style. Maybe a few too many adjectives but I can deal with it.

Wonderful book. Hard to put it down to the very end. Tartt is an outstanding writer; her characters and the story line are a piece of art; easy to understand how this was a Pulitzer Prize winner.

This may be one of my favorite books of all time! I don’t care for thrillers, and I would not categorize this book as such, but there are several passages that qualify in my mind. The Audible version is excellent! I miss the voices of the characters and their idiosyncratic behaviors!
