What do people think of Donna Tartt? I'm intrigued and would like to know please.
I read The Little Friend first and loved the overall mood and tone of it. Found it extremely evocative and quite disturbing. Then I read and was captivated by The Secret History. Loved it and have been meaning to re-read it for ages.
I've just recently seen lots of reviews in which she gets slated for being pretentious (mostly due to the Ancient Greek references it seems). Was just reminded of the Secret History while trawling amazon this morning and wondered what the denizens of this thread thought?
