The Goldfinch

Hmm. I needed to sit with this a bit before reviewing. What to say?? It is certainly: very long. And yet kind of a page-turner? It didn't quite feel as long as it was. And I do take the point that the long, draggy parts are intentionally evocative of Theo's ennui.

The writing is lovely. The attitude Theo shows towards women is...icky? But realistically icky? But maybe now I'm at a point where I'm just less interested in the exquisite rendering of how a young man objectifies women without it ever really being challenged?
