A review by mountainmama303
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

2.0

This book was just "ok." There are two narrators, one is the clandestine concierge of a fancy apartment building in France and the other is a smart 12 year old who lives in that building with her bourgeois parents. The alternating chapters were not quite compelling enough for me to keep turning the pages. It took me a month to read this book, which is twice as long as I expected. The last 100 pages, though, are quite good. I wish the beginning of the book had been as readable.
