I reacted to it pretty much as you did, and my 22 year old daughter actually hated it (and she's a Classics major and read it because of that connection). I'm finally about to start The Goldfinch, so I'm glad to hear you liked that one.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-5607592058863035402014-12-10T21:56:20.949-06:002014-12-10T21:56:20.949-06:00So, you are saying that as long as I read this one...So, you are saying that as long as I read this one before <i>The Goldfinch</i>, I should be fine.
