I cannot tolerate these characters. They are pretentious, boojie as hell, and disdain other people yet they cannot handle their own business. It’s bizarre! I would have told Bunny to kiss my black ass a long time ago! How is that so hard? I cannot believe these dummies let things go that far! Is there something I’m missing here?! Why are they so stupid?! It’s driving me nuts!

The characters are despicable.

I’m taking it off hold for the second time. I need to read something else while I’m going through Little Women. I’ll try to get through it this time! I think Bunny is doing some blackmailing. Tartt is a great writer, but she’s clearly in love with her own writing. This book is almost overwritten. It’s nothing as bad as the prologue in Summer of Night but bad enough.

This is going on hold again. The narrator tries to be all intellectual and boojie yet he doesn’t have the sense he was born with! He can’t even take care of himself. How the hell did he end up almost freezing to death?!? That was totally a preventable situation but he’s stupid. He says he didn’t realize the danger!!! So I guess the HOLE IN THE ROOF didn’t give him a clue?!?
