What do we think of it?
It's alright. Not especially bad but completely overrated by zoomers that have never read another book published before 2000.

>>24795251She needs to get off her ass and put out her fourth book. She's already 2 years behind
>>24795374Her previous two books have proved that she sucks and that The Secret History was just luck.
>>24795490I love all her books. Secret History might actually rank the lowest for me.
>>24795657Because you have no media literacy.
>>24795251>Book is called the secret history>it’s a novel, not actual secret history
It’s a great book I’ve read it three times. Idk if this board pretends to hate it for its popularity but it’s top shelf for what it is. Her other books suck imo
>>24795777D:
love it, this winter might the time to revisit it

>>24795251I love her and her incredible dress sense.
>>24795251My IQ has three digits, I don't read books written by women.
>>24795251Meh. Dark academia as a genre I find to be very annoying and she’s one of the pillars of it
>>24795251i know this board pretends to hate it for the sake of hating it, cause its popular or cause shes a woman, but its really an excellent book. pulled me in and i stayed up all night reading it. didnt expect much from it but it delivered.
Fun pop read.
>>24795251Has verisimilitude issues with the police side of the investigation, and what the group's doing to manage it (beside shutting the fuck up).
>>24795251>What do we think of it?Her best book.
>>24795251Overall I like the book, but the middle section regarding the police investigation and the funeral really drags on needlessly
She shouldn’t have read her own audiobook. Hearing her Southern accent when the main character is from California and everyone else is from New England was jarring.It's not my favourite book but I imagine a lot of people hate it to be contrarian. I give her a lot more grace knowing she was so young when she wrote the it.
>>24795251Dropped it after two chapters
>>24796585i can tell you're a bunny that think they a henry
>>24795251You inspired me to crack it last night. I'm 40 pages deep and it's kino, and expertly-written.
>>24795251Just checked out the plotWhy do you guys poison your minds with trash like this is beyond meJust a bunch of amoral degens doing degen shitI dont care how good the prose is
>>24796585WHat are the themes?
>>24795251Loved Bunny. Not only I thought he was hilarious, but I thought he was far more realized as a human character than everyone else, even being often a comic relief and all. The rest, I couldn't buy them as real people, except maybe Francis who was alright for a side character. I wish his sexual predation had been fleshed out more though. Camilla was awfully flat. Charles too, but at least got a second dimension in the last couple chapters. Francis was hard for a side character. But my main issue was Henry. I know it's hard to write a genius without being one, but he didn't work for me. Some of his intellectual prowess were way out of the norm for someone who otherwise didn't come off as particularly smart. At least not at the level he was supposed to be. Alicia in Stella Maris wasn't perfect and you could hear McCarthy's voice too much through her, but that was a smart character well written enough so I could buy her being a turbo genius. Henry wasn't.
