The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery


I am posting this because it is taking me forever to read. Only very rarely do books take me long to read, but I am getting bored of this one and finding it pretentious and want to slap the old woman. Ok, ok, the bit about the last film with her husband made me tear up, but I have pmt and cry at anything.

I will update as events warrant.

update 7 Feb: almost done. It's gotten better; there are fewer parts where I'm rolling my eyes and doing the blah-blah-blah hand motion.

final update: ...and then it got worse again. The ending was deeply unsatisfying and had the "it was all a dream" feel to it.
