Review of Donna Tartts The Secret History of Mr. Allen

Review of Donna Tartt's The Secret History of Mr. AllenDonna Tartt's The Secret History of Mr. Allen is the type of work that will take you through the mind of an extremely interesting and creative individual. A novel that won't have you wanting to put it down but which will leave you with many questions. If you are a person who appreciates this type of book, then you'll be happy to know that you have picked up a very good book.A man named Stuart Norton-Allen is portrayed in the novel as a complex individual who is married with children and who makes decisions without the assistance of others. It is his work as a lawyer, that led him to form a highly successful business that has consistently produced a profit over a long period of time.His business consists of a number of jobs that he does as he gets paid to do them. He also owns a very profitable business and that business makes a lot of money for him. But his problems begin when his business suffers because of a long-standing dispu te between him and one of his employees. During this conflict, Norton-Allen's business suffers tremendously and so does he.And while Norton-Allen wants to get out of the business and allow his business to continue to prosper, he can't because of the fact that his employees don't want to leave. They all want to stay in his business because they all feel like they are his family.The story was quite interesting in the modern day. I've always enjoyed the story because it gives you a viewpoint that is often very appealing. Especially if you are in the United States of America at this time.When I read The Secret History of Mr. Allen, I thought that Donna Tartt did a good job. She did a good job with the fictional account of Norton-Allen's life. But I think she failed to pull off a similar feat in the third part of the book.In the third part of the book, which is called Bradstone, the story takes a much different turn than the story in the first two parts. In this part of the novel, she ba sically jumps around from one point in time to another and from one person to another. I found this part of the book a little confusing.Donna Tartt does not have the best things to say about the United States of America. There are some pretty harsh criticisms of the country that she writes about. But she does make a few positive comments regarding certain aspects of the country, such as the United States of Hollywood.
