The Secret History - A Novel

The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Last night I finished reading this dramatic and dark mystery thriller novel from 1992. It was a very interesting and beautifully written book but I found that none of the main characters were sympathetic in any way. They were all snobby, greedy, selfish, obnoxious and one dimensional. It actually took me two months to read this novel which is unusual for me but the author's writing was amazing. I just didn't like those college students... or their so-called classics professor.

This is the third Donna Tartt novel that I've read. I previously read The Goldfinch in December 2013 which I loved and The Little Friend in May 2014 which was so so.
