Having enjoyed Donna Tartt's previous 2 books so much, I was eager to read her third novel. However,  I found that I got a bit bogged down in this one. The first third of the book was quite good, and after that it lost some steam and/or I just lost interest. What I would say to prospective readers is that if you have not read The Secret History, her highly acclaimed first book of some 10 years ago -- read that one first. While she is a good writer and her previous 2 novels were very engaging, this one was a little disappointing. For me the loose ends just did not come together at the end. 

Question: Is this book probably too complicated?
