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

By some miracle I've actually re read a book. This obviously confirms that The Secret History is my favourite novel of all time, and given that it was somehow even better this time around I think I've probably made a good decision there. None of the tension was wasted on me, despite knowing what was going to happen, and I think that sums up basically all you need to know. Masterful.
