The Secret History

3.25
An interesting book that's for sure.. A lot of things are happening in this book and at the same time it feels like nothing is happening, since it's slow-paced, very descriptive and so long. All in all, not bad. I didn't like any of the characters and the plot is mostly gripping even though the progress is slow. But it kept me interested, so I believe this book did it quite wonderfully - a slow-paced book but gripping and with some tension nonetheless. I do think the book did a great job with captivating the reader right from the start.
The fact that I didn't like any of the characters and that this book includes so much elitism, homophobic and racist comments, as well as no actual discussion if what they're doing is actually right or wrong but all the characters going along with it, just didn't make it one of my favourites books.
