How is the write?
I was surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did in that it is written in First Person which, in my opinion, limits fleshing out supporting characters.  However, since Ms. Tartt has such a natural way of describing a scene and possesses a wonderfully large vocabulary, this was not a problem.  The book is rather long but keeps you interested.  The only reason I gave this a 4 star rating as opposed to 5 is the last chapter.  I'll leave it at that.  I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys changing plot lines and a bit of intrigue.
