I love the storyline, the rich setting, complex characters, and tragic undertone of it all.

Well done.<BR/><BR/>It is such an incredible read, her writing is amazing. I read it years ago when I was laid up on a 3 or 4 day flu run and I think the whole feverish, weirdness of the way I felt made this book stand out to me even more. It was a hard read at times but I was just sucked in, turning page after page. All these years later, and it has been more than 10, the way I feel about that reading experience and my memories of it have stuck with me. For some inexplicable reason back with I heard The Freshmen by Verve Pipe for the first time it instantly brought The Secret History to mind and the two have been forever linked in my mind. Have you heard it?:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVNAp1C8LIw<BR/><BR/>I know I'm absolutely crazy, but I guess we all new that! Again, great review.Carl V.

But after I read <EM>The Little Friend</EM>, which I found kind of disappointing (the writing was good but the story was blah), I kind of lost most of my incentive. But, while the reviews for <EM>The Little Friend</EM> have been mixed, <EM>The Secret History</EM> always gets great reviews. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll move this one up the list a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-5339380307350335102008-08-23T09:56:00.000-06:002008-08-23T09:56:00.000-06:00s. krishna - I'm with you.
