I liked The Secret History, but I didn't LOVE it. Many friends (and my sister) had really enjoyed it, and I had been meaning to read it for some time now. While the characters are incredibly well developed, and the writing is fantastically detailed, I felt that the story was a bit over-written. Tartt is certainly a solid writer, though.

I like it a lot so far...
It started off as a highly readable 4 star book, but the second half I was dragging my feet through
