It's at the crazy-making stage, where things are just about ready to come together to make some sense ... once the what is figured out, the next step is to figure out what to do about it.

It just goes on and on and on ...

Holy moly this is a long book. Fourteen percent in and Our Hero is only 11 years old.

I'm 300 pages in to this book and so bored I don't think I'll bother to finish it. Some of the writing is beautiful, but so, so much of it is overly detailed and, I don't know, it's like Tartt was overly enchanted with her own descriptions and could not bear to trim even one word. I don't like any of the characters except Hobie.

Nothing to grad onto to keep me reading any longer. Will try it again someday, maybe.

Can't finish it -- way too pretentious and nothing is happening.
