THE GOLDFINCH

I’ve recently finished The Goldfinch and actually forgot to talk about it. On contrary to other books I’ve posted about (tsh, tsoa) this one didn’t give me much to think about. I didn’t feel much after finishing it.

I liked it, it just wasn’t as great as I was expecting it to be. I was surprised when I found out that Boris took the painting but that was actually the peak of emotions in that book.

Till the last page I was waiting for something to move me. And it didn’t. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the plot and the characters. It just wasn’t “it”.

What made me cry was that I read over 800 pages and did not feel like my life shifted even a bit.
