![]() ![]() In fact, if I hadn’t read the reviews claiming that her writing drags on, I might not really have noticed it myself. ![]() I do admit that some of the passages in Donna Tartt’s books could probably be edited out, since they don’t always add something important to the story or the characters, and yet I continue to persist in reading her stories, because I do want to know how it ends, and her writing seems to lull me, rather than bore me. ![]() It makes exceptions even more delightful. Then again, as a general rule, I don’t do well with long books and that is something I have accepted. I eventually decided that I didn’t want to commit to the rest of the book series anymore, because they were taking too much of my time, time that I needed to read the countless books on my TBR pile. Four whole pages to describe the scene of a banquet? No thank you. I’ve read four of the Game Of Thrones series before deciding that they just weren’t for me: everything from the story to the characters was good, but Martin’s long descriptions drove me up the wall. I’m not an easily pleased reader over the years I have become, unfortunately, too picky in what I read, and easily bored. ![]() It is rare to hear someone saying that her writing is just alright, meh, not their cup of tea. While some are smitten by her writing, others can’t deal with the length and detailing of her narrative. It has come to my attention, through the various reviews I have stumbled upon online, that Donna Tartt is the kind of author that people either love or hate. ![]()
