Book Reviews of The Secret History
Book Review: A psycological mystery along the lines of a Greek tragedy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't convey the magic of this novel in words. It is a psychological mystery that insinuates itelf and its themes into your mind and it is, to use a cliche, unputdownable. The Secret History is one of the best novels I have ever read. It is about about five, elitist classics students in american university who embark on a gruesome and self-revealing adventure as they try to recreate a barbaric ancient greek rite. If you have some knowledge of classics your own thoughts and ideas on Greek rituals will be challenged. IF YOU HAVE STUDIED CLASSICS READ THIS BOOK!!!! (I am studying English Literature, Ancient Greek, Latin and Classical Civilisation a-levels)
