Rendition Supposing Books The Secret History
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last - inexorably - into evil.

Write a book, youre so talentedi think the fact that i've just read 600 pages in a day is indication enough that this book is everything to me
"Does such a thing as the fatal flaw, that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didnt. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs."Hot damn this book was brilliant! Im officially joining the ranks of Donna Tartt fans. Three things happened after I finished this book: 1) I wanted to start all over again 2) I had difficulty reading the books I chose next (even though they are
One of my all time favorites. It's been a while since I read it, have to reread it soon. Great story, very intelligent, very fascinating, keeps you going on and on page by page until the end. Remember reading it on a camping trip in Canada! Simply brilliant. Top ten best reads ever.
beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. quite the contrary. genuine beauty is always quite alarming. and oh, how alarmingly beautiful this story is, as all the best greek tragedies tend to be; full of sorrow and struggle, but often accompanied by pure loyalty and divine inspiration. gosh. i just i cant even right now. on the surface, this book is great. but donna tartt is an absolute goddess of writing for the sheer depth of this book. its a work of absolute brilliance. i was never a classics
Apparently the New York Times described The Secret History as "Powerful...Enthralling...A ferociously well-paced entertainment" and Time said "A smart, craftsman-like, viscerally compelling novel."Very funny, guys, ha ha and all that. They're such jolly jokesters. They'll have you believing anything. The Secret History is complete tripe - no, that's harsh, let me put it another way - it's COMPLETE TRIPE - oh dear, this keyboard has a mind of its own! and is very firm about its opinions too! -
DNF at 70% If you love one book by a certain author it does not automatically mean you will enjoy all the authors work (Me, while reading The Secret History) .Before I begin my review I have to inform you that Goldfinch is one of my favorite novels. If you want, you can see my short review here. Based on that fact, there should be no doubt in anyones mind of how much I love Donna Tartts writing. I thought it was perfect in the first novel I read by her, it kept me coming back for more each day,
