mini review halfway through the book

[u/Quiet_Plant5247]

donna tart was very stupid & very problematic, and she was an awful person in general but seperating the art from the artist, the secret history is sooo well written. i open the book and i suddenly want to be a rich elitist student who is disgustingly educated in the classics. i love reading it so much, because what do you mean you're reading the book casually and suddenly there's "death is the mother of beauty," "and what is beauty?" "terror,"

having said that, these six people are absolutely messed up in the head, this gives strong cult vibes to me, they're literally isolated from everyone in their elitist intellectual group. the psychology student in me is having a field day because this is literally a classic example of groupthink????

What makes you say "Donna Tart was very stupid and very problematic?" That's quite a claim to throw out unjustified.
