Tartt writes brilliantly at times in this novel, and she's clearly a genius. But she has a penchant for including all kinds of irrelevant details that fail to move the story along one iota. This book would have been better if she had left out every other sentence. I also must admit that I did not from page one buy that it was written by a male. Her voice is clearly a woman's. This novel is a worthwhile read, if you're not offended by drug use and violent crime, but I do not believe it rated a Pulitzer.
