"The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt
Well, it certainly kept your interest and even though I had pretty much had enough at around the 600 page mark I couldn't stop reading until the end. Pulitzer Prize winner? I have rather mixed feelings about it. Is it really much better than the Da Vinci Code which is a rip roaring plot as well? She throws in some jumble of "deeper meaning" in the end but I'm not sure it all adds up.
