I liked it, but it was just a fun read. Good quality pop-lit.

It's one of those books that could probably be made into a successful movie.

Premise sounds fun but the fact that "booktube" fawns over it is a major red flag

It's very comfy, especially with autumn approaching.
Tartt wrote a fun, compelling campus novel.

>Donna Tartt, who is going to be very famous very soon—conceivably the moment you read this—also happens to be exceedingly small. Teeny, even. “I’m the exact same size as Lolita,” she says. “Do you remember that poem from the novel?” She recites,
>Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze
>Her dream-gray gaze never flinches.
>Ninety pounds is all she weighs
>With a height of sixty inches.

It's YA fiction. If you're an adult and still reading this it's time for some serious self-examination.

>is she overrated?
As a YA writer, probably not. I would certainly prefer for my children to read a semi-respectably-written murder mystery about suave classicists than "The Hunger Games".

However, due to the prevalence of mental illness and the rampant anti-intellectualism of our times, a large segment of the adult reading population unfortunately appears to be incapable of distinguishing books like this from serious literature. So in that sense, it is overrated.

I stopped reading children's books around the same time I started having sex.
