Pros:
- the writing flowed nicely and made it easy to read. The dialogue always felt realistic and the story carried along nicely.
- it also had quite an original premise which was executed well and I got caught up in seeing how it would all turn out.
- the side characters, Raymond, Laura, Bob, etc. were all well developed and made it feel like a little slice of life.
Cons:
- Didn't really love Eleanor (though the name didn't help) and while feeling vaguely bad for her, i definitely didn't 'sob and sob' like the one reviewer did. Some bits did hit too hard and just made me feel bad. The tone really reminded me of 'A man called Ove' and it was given to me by the same person. Unfortunately I don't think I'm a massive fan of this type of book really - the reality is too painful for me, too personal.
So I think my main disappoint was that I didn't feel much for the book and I won't be reading it again I'm afraid, though it was good for a break after the complicated 'Ninth house' book.

I really enjoyed this book and the characters were brilliant. Eleanor's growth and discovery of herself throughout the book is brilliantly developed and considerately written by Gail Honeyman. There are some really devastatingly sad moments in this book. Horrific moments with devastating consequences. But there is also beauty and warmth too and that shines out of the pages in abundance. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is a story of being human; of the worst of people and the best of people and how even in the darkest, most desperate moments, there is hope and a future.
