 In this powerfully affecting Flaubert's Parrot gives readers a brilliant take on the deceptions that make up the quivering substrata of erotic love. "An interplay of serious thought and dazzling wit. . . . It's moving, it's funny, it's frightening . . . fiction at its best."--New York Times Book Review.   less

This is a fastastic book, two great characters and one milksop they revolve around, its cracking. Olivers gets all the best lines in the same way the devil plays the best tunes, but poor old steatopygous Stu was hard done by. Unputdownable

Really well written, laugh out loud at points, cry solemnly at others.  You think he's not going to be able to end it satisfactorily and then he does.  Completely different then history of the world in ten and a half chapters (the great julian barnes book) but equally page-turning.  People are fucked up.

This book has some lovely moments, but it didn't add up to enough to make me love it as much as the friend who recommended it to me wanted me to.

Two man, a woman and three complex relationships. My favorite Julian Barnes piece.

The premise is good, but the telling is sorely irritating.

The first Julian Barnes book I ever read...a witty and wry story about friendship, passion, and broken promises.

Oh lord, I think I've found my new favorite--and funny-- writer. Julian Barnes' characters and novel say so much about human relationships/love/marriage/anti-love/life that it's quite scary.
