 Murdoch's first and best. Indelible writing about ephemeral joys (and Wittgenstein).

 I always feel like an ignoramus dismissing classics, but I'm afraid this book did absolutely nothing for me.

 Am loving this. Funny, clever, strange. I wish I was Iris Murdoch.

 A very good story about a man in London who is very intelligent, but very lazy. He does want to be left alone but is drawn into events by others. The development of the lead character Jack is done very well. Some of the events do need a leap of faith.

 There are so many witty conversations in the "Under the Net". I love the way Murdoch discuss the "communication" subject. A very nice book!

 Didn't like this -- Murdoch's first novel, very heavy-handed with the characters.

 Read it. Think about it. There are many layers here, you just have to think about it. And that goes for all Iris Murdoch.

 Mrs Tinckham makes it for me. She's not only a relief for Jake but a relief in the narrative with her glorious smoke-filled shop, full of cats, a veritable retreat.
I always love Murdoch's choice of names... Sadie and Anna Quentin, perfect, and Hugo. She always chooses such wonderful names.

 Hmmm... I am not quite sure where I stand with this novel. I fear I may need to read it again to make sense of it all. The characters are fun, but the story seems to be somewhat senseless
