Reviews
"A remarkably powerful novel [and] a ferociously well-paced entertainment.... Forceful, cerebral, and impeccably controlled." -- The New York Times "An accomplished psychological thriller .... Absolutely chilling .... Tartt has a stunning command of the lyrical." -- The Village Voice "Beautifully written, suspenseful from start to finish." -- Vogue "A huge, mesmerizing, galloping read, pleasurably devoured .... Gorgeously written, relentlessly erudite." -- Vanity Fair "Her writing bewitches us .... The Secret History is a wonderfully beguiling book, a journey backward to the fierce and heady friendships of our school days, when all of us believed in our power to conjure up divinity and to be forgiven any sin." -- The Philadephia Inquirer "A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction .... Packed with literary allusion and told with a sophistication and texture that owes much more to the nineteenth century than to the twentieth." -- The Times (London), "A beautifully written story, well-told, funny, sad, scary, and impossible to leave alone until I finished. . . . What a debut!" --John Grisham "Powerful . . . Enthralling . . . A ferociously well-paced entertainment." -- The New York Times "An accomplished psychological thriller . . . Absolutely chilling . . . Tartt has a stunning command of the lyrical." -- The Village Voice "A smart, craftsman-like, viscerally compelling novel." -- Time "A thinking-person's thriller . . . Think Lord of the Flies , then The Rules of Attraction . . . . The Secret History combines a bit of both--the unmistakable whiff of evil from William Golding's classic and the mad recklessness of priviledged youth from Bret Easton Ellis's novel of the '80s. . . . As stony and chilling as any Greek tragedian ever plumbed." -- New York Newsday "Tartt's voice is unlike that of any of her contemporaries. Her beautiful language, intricate plotting, fascinating characters, and intellectual energy make her debut by far the most interesting work yet from her generation." -- The Boston Globe "A long tale of friendship, arrogance, and murder knit together with the finesse that many writers will never have . . . Her writing bewitches us . . . The Secret History is a wonderfully beguiling book, a journey backward to the fierce and heady friendships of our school days, when all of us believed in our power to conjure up divinity and to be forgiven any sin." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "The great pleasure of the novel is the wonderful complexity and the remarkable skill with which this first novelist spins the tale. And a gruesome tale it is. . . . A great, dense, disturbing story, wonderfully told." -- Cosmopolitan "The Secret History implicates the reader in a conspiracy which begins in bucolic enchantment and ends exactly where it must--though a less gifted or fearless writer would never have been able to imagine such a rich skein of consequence. Donna Tartt has written a mesmerizing and powerful novel." --Jay McInerney "Donna Tartt has invested this simple and suspenseful plot with a considerable amount of atmosphere and philosophical significance. . . . She's a very good writer indeed." -- The Washington Post Book World "A glorious achievement . . . The Secret History is a grand read--an artful blend of intelligence, entertainment, and suspense that quickens the pulse." -- The Virginian Pilot & Ledger-Star "Beautifully written, suspenseful from start to finish." -- Vogue "One of the best American college novels to come along since John Knowles's A Seperate Peace . . . . Immensely entertaining." -- Houston Chronicle "Donna Tartt is clearly a gifted writer. . . . The cadence of her sentences, the authority with which she shaped 500-plus pages of an erudite page-turner indicate she has the ability to leave her literary contemporaries standing in the road. . . . The decision to murder has about it the inevitability of classical Greek tragedy." -- The Miami Herald "Donna Tartt has a real shot at becoming her generation's Edgar Allan Poe. . . . The Secret History pulses like a telltale heart on steroids." -- Glamour, " The Secret History succeeds magnificently. . . . A remarkably powerful novel [and] a ferociously well-paced entertainment. . . . Forceful, cerebral, and impeccably controlled." --The New York Times "An accomplished psychological thriller. . . . Absolutely chilling. . . . Tartt has a stunning command of the lyrical." -- The Village Voice "Beautifully written, suspenseful from start to finish." -- Vogue "A haunting, compelling, and brilliant piece of fiction. . . .

  • One of my favorites

    Most amazing book ever! Set in New England, The Secret History tells the story of a closely knit group of six classics students at a small, elite Vermont college, similar in many respects to Bennington College (in Bennington, Vermont) where Tartt was a student from 1982 to 1986. One of the six students is the story's narrator, Richard Papen, who reflects, years later, on the situation that led to a murder within the group, implying such at the outset but otherwise revealing events sequentially. In the opening chapter, as the reader is introduced to Papen, the death of student Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran is revealed, although few details are given initially. The novel undertakes to explore the circumstances and lasting effects of his murder on an academically and socially ...

  • Transcendally thrilling

    Absolutely thrilling. The author weaves the plotline in such a way that enthralls the reader while cleverly exposing revealing characteristics and mannerisms of the central characters. The Devil is in and out of the details! I particularly fancy her depiction of Henry's drug-addled, mentally vapid socialite mother whose mansion has an easily accessible medicine cabinet filled with potent barbiturates, amphetamines, and sedatives.

  • Excellent Book!

    If you liked The Gold Finch you will also love this book!

  • Writing at it's very best.

    I could not put this book down.There were so many layers to the story, and so many unexpected twists and turns. I like a book that challenges me, dares me almost, to follow each thread in the tapestry. I don't remember the last time I went through a book as quickly as I did this one.
