レビュー

• A five star novel, but kindle edition riddled with typos

  Beautifully written and evocative novel - other reviewers rightly highlight the strength of Hollinghurst's imagination and descriptive ability. I loved reading it. But I want to add a note about the Kindle edition which has more than your average number of typos. Not just misspelt words but the occasional incomplete sentence. It rather looks as if they created the Kindle edition by scanning a print edition, and the text recognition software hasn't always worked. Lithograph becomes 'Uthograph' or detail = 'detafl'. These errors aren't spread equally throughout the book; there seems to be sections where there are clusters of mistakes and then it straightens out for a bit.

• Dark and witty story

  Great read from an award winning writer

• Memories

  The best is is why Edward returns to England for the funeral. Its accounts of Edward growing up, his family, his schooling, his friendships, and the people around him is wonderfully told. Their are any scenes and many reminiscences which could have been written about me.

• Five Stars

  Great book by one of my favourite authors. Simply brilliant.

• Beautifully written but not very fascinating

  It doesn't make a very compelling story. You can see the beauty but unfortunately it feels very skin deep. The characters were vain and boring.
