pithypants reviewed The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Review of 'The Goldfinch' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book was something of a trainwreck. It was entertaining and well-written, but the characters made such bad decisions that I cringed almost the entire time, wishing someone could save them from themselves. That said, I still found myself recommending the book because it's a creative tale. The only thing I would change is the ending. After dragging me through 30+ hours of story that was - at times - painful to listen to, I was hoping for a perfect ending... something that would seam it up beautifully or provide a huge payoff or something. Instead, the end just kind of fizzled.
