03/15/2003: "The Little Friend"

A couple of nights ago, I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning so I could finish Donna Tartt's The Little Friend. I loved this book for its superb storytelling. I read some of the reviews on Amazon, and I was surprised to see that most people found the book disappointing. I had read Tartt's first novel, The Secret History, and loved that too. What I found most appealing was the story and Tartt's writing. She has this simple, descriptive writing style that I find extremely engaging.
