Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries.

    3.5 stars but not quite enough for me to round up. This was a beautifully written story and can see why it is well rated and liked but it’s just a bit too lengthy for my liking. I would still recommend this author and book but with a warning of the intense detail and tangents included. Overall I’m glad I read it but also relieved it’s over.

    An okay story, lots of cringe worthy similes and such. Didn’t love it.

  • Bland Main Character but OUTSTANDING PLOT

    I loved this book, I loved hating the characters but in an oddly good way. The Plot makes you keep reading. I also Felt like the Main Character was bland but the things happening around him was like watching a movie from his point of view. Overall I seriously enjoyed it, I loved how it was written but, I had to use a Translater for some parts. Which is fine. If you love a good Psychological Thriller and a murder in a dark academic setting in the 80s. You will enjoy this book <333

    This book may not be for everyone as the story takes awhile to manifest. However, it is masterfully crafted to where the reader is sucked right into the story, feeling the anxiety, depression, discomfort, and absolute horror each character felt. It feels as though you actually lived the life of the main character. The writing style of this book is unique and makes disgusting seem beautiful.

  • Wanted to love but the characters are truly unlikeable

    Loved The Goldfinch and wanted to read her first book but unfortunately I found the characters extremely unlikeable and a lot happened throughout the book only to have a very unsatisfying ending. It starts out slow and some parts involving the Greek literature can be dense and disengaging. Overall found that the characters had very little arcs and only got worse throughout the story. Our one chance for anything redeemable,to happen fell short and we were left with the only good character abruptly exiting. 3/5 stars for me.

  • One of my all time favorites now

    Is it a crazy read and can be hard to get into for a bit? Yes. But it’s so beyond worth it.

  • Snooze fest
