The Secret History

nice ol fuckery of terrible things.

personally always find it challenging when characters are morally grey, but this was done pretty well. pretty conflicted about how i felt about this book but i think the consistency of the suspense and the novel's ending gives it a solid 4.

imo, some of the sections dragged and could probs have been shorter, like the police case n the funeral. lowkey reminds me of murakami's writing cos it just DRAAAAGs on like bro i don't care that ur walking and counting the pavements on the footpath on the way to the coffee shop and the birds gather and oh now having a cigarette outside the coffee shop that is closed and i remember that my first girlfriend took me here haha nostalgia. but also i guess that's the whole point.

unique (?) coming of age story mixed with themes often found in green mythology (obviously as intended). if u know u know.
