Theo Decker was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art when a bomb detonated, killing his mother. Miraculously he survived, leaving with a ring given to him by an old dying man. Having been abandoned by his father, he goes to live with a wealthy friend whom he hasn't been close to in years. But the ring isn't the only thing Theo left the museum with. How can one object affect his life so much..?
The Goldfinch was very detailed, but not at all boring. I found myself sucked in to all the ages and events in Theo's life. I'm glad he found Hobie after searching for where the ring came from. I think Hobie and Theo helped each other in ways they don't realise.
Boris is a strange character. He's hard to get to know, and you want to like him, but there's something holding you back. He pulled through in the end I guess, but there's still a lot of skepticism there.
In a prefect world, Theo and Pippa would have ended up together and lived happily ever after. A few times I thought it might actually happen. But alas, life isn't perfect.
I very much enjoyed The Goldfinch and I would recommend it.
