sashucity 's review for:
The Moon and Sixpence
by W. Somerset Maugham
One of these tricky books where author creates the most living person ever and then make him dead.
Don't worry, that's not a spoiler: the story started from the fact Charles Strickland will die in the end.
Maugham was able to create a dense narrative, managing to tell not only about the complex nature of a great man, but also about art, love and life.
"The Moon and Sixpence" is so real that Maugham doesn't have to break the fourth wall: he speaks to you in a cosy, warm room with three walls only.
It doesn't matter if you like or hate Charles Strickland – you'll definitely feel the charm of how Maugham shares his story about him.
