5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant !, 3 Jan 2008
This review is from: Hunting and Gathering (Paperback)
I read the info on this book and was midly curious, I am not too interested in sad stories, and terrible dramas, so when I read that one of the characters is a girl that is not eating, trying to disappear I had my doubts, but the main characters are delightful, amazing weird, lovable people, the freedom of their hearts and the prisons were we put ourselves sometimes when we are hurting. The tender strokes of the dialogues, the hopes that keeps on growing as the story unfolds...it is classic, modern and brilliant.
The best I have read in a long while

5.0 out of 5 stars If we all could find such a place..., 1 Aug 2007
This review is from: Hunting and Gathering (Paperback)
Anna Gavalda describes a place so many people would like to find, a place where lives are solved, where everything just comes to fit together, where loose ends or disadvantages turn out to be just what was needed. The book is the literary equivalent of a fireplace or an evening with candlelight, soft and embracing warmth. It is very hard to create such stories or characters without overdoing it. The author was able to do so, and the only actual problem is that the book has an end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting, engrossing, evocative..., 30 May 2008
By LittleReader (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Initially I found this novel hard work, the first few chapters were slightly nonsensical and vague and I had to push myself to continue. Luckily for me, I persevered and was introduced to the wonderfully quirky World hidden behind the doors of an imposing Parisian apartment. Philibert - a downtrodden intellectual with a penchant for writing, his fiery flatmate - the talented chef Franck, Franck's ageing, beloved grandmother Paulette and finally Camille - a waif like artist that is rescued from herself...As this enchanting tale unfolds, they all rescue each other and a love story is shaped.
Not only was the story seamless and exquisitely written, it's characters were whole and very likable and as you move through the pages, that initial vagueness, the sense of not really understanding what the author was trying to say, becomes crystal clear.
I believe this is the quintessential modern day classic and a must for readers of all genre's...

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous portrayal of life and love
I think that this novel about a group of four unlikely misfits that become friends is both profound and touching. Camille is an anorexic and lonely artist. Read more
