Haven‘t posted in a very long time! Going to be starting this one later today. Does anyone have any opinions on The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt?
SamAnne I‘ve not read. I have heard from more than one friend that it really needed a better editor and could have been 200 pages shorter. 4y
AlexMcWilliams @SamAnne appreciate the reply! I‘ll take a look and hope I can get through it. I‘ve seen plenty of mixed reviews so I‘m interested to see for myself. 4y
SamAnne @AlexMcWilliams I might jump in too! But I have some other chunksters that are ahead of this one. I love long books that grab me, but I will also get a bit irritated by authors who waste my time by their love of their words. #barkskins. Especially when one reads something like Colson Whitehead‘s Nickel Boys which doesn‘t waste a word. 4y
BarbaraBB I liked it. But it‘s not mindblowing I think. 4y
