Things are getting really interesting now. I'm becoming hopeful about Theo. I want him to pull himself out of the canyon of despair that he has fallen into. I was very disturbed by his experiments with all those different kinds of drugs with Boris. So, now that he's in NYC and getting into the early college programme, after working hard on the exams, my middle class values see a faint glimmer of hope.

Return of Boris and brings int s wake, innumerable alscohol-drenched, cocaine cloud-hazy, and weed smoky scenes. So hard to relate to. I don't think I have ever loathed a character as much as I loathe Boris, the Ukrainian.

The language continues to grip me and pull me in. The story is long-winded and Theo is getting on my nerves sometimes but one cannot help but marvel at how Donna Tartt is able to write about a male protagonist! I think that deserves a standing ovation. Her Pulitzer is well-deserved.

I absolutely loved the part where Theo goes on this long Greyhound ride from Las Vegas to NYC. It just reminded me of my personal experiences on the Greyhound. The US highways and the transit pit-stops are quintessentially American, I think.
There are detailed descriptions of the effects of several drugs such as cocaine and acid. They are scary when you put them in context of the 15 year old. Things are shaking up.

So far so good. It started with this tremendous high about this painting and somewhere in the middle it got lost with Theo, the main character's journey...
