The Feast of Love (Vintage Contemporaries)

Enjoyable narrative intermingling the lives of neighbors, friends, co-workers, and lovers, with time spent on personal history and on sudden events, both happy and tragic. The author has a way with a story. I listened to this on audio with both a male and female reader. I felt this added a dimension to the work - it felt more personal. Recommended.

It's beautifully written, very poignant and very funny. Thanks to Geo for the recommendation and loan.   hide

Enjoyable characters, pretty realistic but the story drags a bit in places.

Some parts, I liked; some, I didn't.

Loved it - quick read, interesting characters.

Kind of a random read, but I enjoyed it.

Interesting book thats being made into a movie. Very simple writing easy plot. Questions the reader about love and how that is created.

I must say this was an excellent book.

The book was interesting the movie sucked
