goatsrsexy 's review for:

The Secret History by Donna Tartt
3.75

I listened to this as an audiobook, which for me is very different than reading because I'm not great at focusing without a visual. So my mind drifts and I miss things etc.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the Goldfinch and I always wanted to read this, then I saw the audiobook specifically mentioned in Perfume And Pain by Anna Dorn (which I loved) so I thought why not. I pretty much only listen to audio books on my 15 min commute home from work so it took me a long time to read.

I listened to American Psycho earlier on and I didn't like it at all. I'm not a fan of Brett Easton Ellis at all but the reason I bring him up is because this book felt like what I wanted his books to be. Maybe it's the female author factor, maybe I just prefer The Secret History. Either way, this book was exactly what I wanted it to be.

I hope I get the chance to read this with my eyes sometime to get the full experience.
