VeryBriefReviews – The Goldfinch

Tartt takes you into a surreal yet ugly world filled with selfish characters. And yet there is something so beautiful about the way she writes that you would rather be a part of this world than any other, existing within the pages of a book so perfectly crafted.

Alone #amwriting

I try to see the crippling misery hidden beneath the facade of self control, to know what it truly means to be alone.

One liners

In the end, it was words that pierced the armor and not the bullets that bounced off it

For those of you who haven’t bought the book yet…The Girl From Rostov will be free on 18th and 19th september

I’m starting to feel like a broken record or maybe just another song that has been played on repeat way too many times. Either way I think I’ve got some good news. The ebook version of The Girl From Rostov will be free for the next forty eight hours starting now. So anyone who has the slightest interest in getting the book should get it now, all the while keeping your money where it belongs i.e in your pockets. This is part of a promotional sales so obviously the more people know about it the better.

The book almost made it to the top 100 in its category a couple of days ago. This time I actually hope to break through, that is of course with your help. It’s a weekend, what else are you going to do anyway? Watch a rerun of friends? Bah…read a good book, I’m told it’s good for your brain.

TRIPPIEST VIDEO I’VE EVER SEEN

 

Cause I had the best of the worst sides

And I had these lungs

And I had too many flash fires

That I just let them burn

Till my chest is on fire

And my head just won’t die

I guess I’m lying cause I wanna

I guess I’m lying cause I don’t

Cause I just feel so tired

Like it’s move or slowly die

You ain’t you when you’re like this

This ain’t you and you know it

But ain’t that just the point?

You don’t know

How to let go

Who said this must be all or nothing?

But I’m still caught below

And I’ll never let you know

No I can’t tell you nothing

Cause I’m a fucking mess sometimes

But still I could always be

Whatever you wanted

But not what you needed

Especially when you been needing me

Cause I’m a fucking mess sometimes

And I’ll say what I don’t mean

Just cause I wanted

Or maybe I need it

Swear lying’s the only rush I need

Cause all I needed was some words to say

That all these feelings don’t mean shit to me

Cause it’s all just chemicals anyway

Anyway

And I got way too many routes to take

To make this all just go away

And find another heart to break

So heartless with the words I say

Just saying what I’m supposed to say

Cause I had nothing for you

I can’t love when I can’t even love myself

Things I would rather be thoughts at the back of my head, but I’m addicted to hurting

And I got these lungs

And I spent too many late nights

Just Thinking a hole in the earth

Till the sky is on fire

And my head still won’t die

I guess I’m lying cause I want to

I guess I’m lying cause I don’t

Cause I just feel so tired

Like I need something to come alive

She said you ain’t you when you’re like this

This ain’t you what you done?

And I said that’s the point

You don’t know how to let go

Who said this must be all or nothing?

But I’m still caught below

And I’ll never let you know

No I can’t tell you nothing

Cause I’m a fucking mess sometimes

But still I could always be

Whatever you wanted

But not what you needed

Especially when you been needing me

Cause I’m a fucking mess inside

And I’ll say what I don’t mean

Just cause I wanted

Or maybe I need it

Swear lying’s the only rush I need

Song for the day

 

Verse

Words fall out of my mouth

They drift to the ground

And they don’t make a sound

I’ll try to assemble them back

To the place in my head

But I fear that I lack

The proper speak that I need,

To narrate the scene,

To tell you these things

The proper place for my thoughts,

I know I’m not and you not that I’m not…

Chorus

So clear and transparent

Well I’ll try but I can’t promise it

So dark but delicate

Well I’m rough around the edges and

You can try to smooth me down

But I’m not, no I’m not

And you can try to smooth me down

But I’m not ready to forget

Verse

Take back all that I’ve said

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

It’s not like me to pretend

But the best part of me is the worst I can give

But you make me so terrified,

I tried to reply but I’m shaking inside

You gave me a tongue just to tie,

I’ll swallow my pride if you swear not to lie

Bridge

Hard to read and hard to speak to

But don’t take my word

‘Cause I’m honestly so bored of being

Misunderstood,

Chorus

I’m not

So clear and transparent

Well I’ll try but I can’t promise it

So dark but delicate

Well I’m rough around the edges and

You can try to smooth me down

But I’m not, no I’m not

And you can try to smooth me down

But I’m not ready to forget

Stay

It was easier back then, all he had to do was pack his bags and leave.

It was harder back then, he never had a reason to stay

Now he had her, and she was everything he needed.

But she was no longer there to tell him that.
