A review by adamrbrooks
The Only Story by Julian Barnes

3.0

This starts as an interesting love story, and quickly turns to a slow-motion tragedy, though it's mainly intended as a reflection on love, what it means to us humans, and what it does to us, how it rewrites and redirects our thinking. How it makes us think we are each the only ones who truly experience it, though, really, it's all been done before and will be done over and over again.

Ultimately, though, this was a little flat for me. A little too dry to make me truly care.

I wish I could remember why I put this on my list.

(At some point I'll go back and add the quotes I liked.)
