review: A hauntingly beautiful character study, brilliantly written, and methodically detailed in spirit. The dialogue is fantastic, the characters richly developed, the sense of tragedy so deep, its power is difficult to describe in literal form; &#34;The Goldfinch&#34; touches something on the periphery of human experience. The plot slowly develops and leads to many interesting paths, but the final act stretches on too long through metaphoric and verbose description, lacking dramatic impact deserved of such a strong, first three-quarters. Donna Tartt is immensely talented, and her passion is evident on every page. In the finale, it's just creative decisions that undercut what could have made perfect.
question: How good is the book?
The dialogue is fantastic
