What an absolutely beautiful rendering intellectual academia poetry. This book was STUNNING. I loved everything about it. I felt like some of the philosophical stuff went over my head but that’s ok. The message was so beautiful and so many incredible quotes. So glad I read this. Reading the afterward too was so eye opening and gave so much perspective. Julia is so strong

Enjoyable read. I read this quickly so I could watch the movie on Netflix. Read half on kindle and half in audiobook. Not my favorite book but a fun quick read.

Loved the audiobook, the descriptions of Oxford, and Jamie’s “oxenford.” Recommend the book but spare yourself from the movie 

Slow start but when it got going, it was great! Very British read and I loved it.
