The Little Friend
The Little Friend
Author: Donna Tartt
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
Leigh avatar reviewed on + 378 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 10


Although Tartt has a gift for writing and a gift for creating likeable and intelligent characters (Harriet, Ida Rhew, etc.), the plot didn't grab me until about 400 pages in. The climax occurred, but there was no resolution of which to speak. This novel was a disappointment in many ways.
