At 13 years old, Theo Decker loses his mother in a terrorist bombing, steals a priceless painting, and begins the journey of a lifetime - one that takes him from New York City to Las Vegas to Amsterdam.
The Goldfinch is a riveting story. Donna Tartt paints a colorful portrait of Theo along with Boris, Hobie and Pippa. Theo's survival depends on the kindness of strangers, but they are often his downfall.
I put off reading The Goldfinch because of the sheer heft of it. At 784 pages, I thought I didn't have time. Now, I only wish that I had read it sooner. Read the book before you see the movie. You will be so happy you did.
