The Goldfinch: Donna Tartt - Review Description
Learn what the experts are saying about Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch with this literary review. Dark themes prevail throughout the novel as protagonist Theo Decker copes with the violent and untimely death of his mother. As a 13-year-old boy, Theo's grasp of reality is limited, and the tragic event forces despair and self-defeating behavior. With sophisticated themes like death, abuse, and sex, this book is better suited for a mature audience. If you are looking for an intellectually stimulating audiobook that keeps you guessing, then The Goldfinch may be just what you need.

This great analysis makes a great companion to the original novel, The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt. The analysis goes in depth for each and every character of the book. There is a section of the analysis that lets you get to know the author better. I was intrigued by the intense and complicated topic. I read this analysis first then I read the novel. This really helped me fully understand the depths of the book. I also found it made certain parts of the book pop out to me. What I liked best is that the analysis includes pros and cons of the book and source links.
