The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Fantastic production of an amazing book.
I went into this book blind. I had no clue what genre it was, only that it was fiction. After a couple clarifying moments in the book, I realized just how great of a story was unfolding in front of me. This book easily cracks my top 10 list.

An avid member of the Hitler Youth in 1940s Vienna, Johannes Betzler discovers his parents are hiding a Jewish girl named Elsa behind a false wall in their home. His initial horror turns to interest - then love and obsession. After his parents disappear, Johannes is the only one aware of Elsa's existence in the house and the only one responsible for her fate. By turns disturbing and blackly comic, Christine Leunens' captivating and masterful novel examines this world of truth and lies, laying bare the darkest corners of the human soul.

Good production, poor storyline
Revisado: 06-02-20
While I certainly enjoyed the narrator and the quality of production, this book was not at all what I was expecting. In good literature, the unexpected is often a welcome surprise or an exciting plot twist; in this book, however, I cannot say the same. I feel the author simply tried to fit too much into a storyline that simply did not have the range or flexibility for it. The style of writing was captivating, almost to a fault; I finished the book, but at times I felt my skin crawl as what I anticipated being a historical fiction depicting the confrontation of two diametrically opposed worldview quickly turned into Anne Frank meets 50 Shades of Grey.
