So far, this book is surprisingly straightforward. Although I love Tartt's voice and style, and I do like the protagonist a lot, I'm kind of shocked at how... plain? This story is so far.

The story is definitely keeping my interest, but at the same time, I'm scratching my head wondering how this won a Pulitzer. So far - The Secret History seems to be in different (much higher) league from this book.

Time will tell.
