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

2.0

I found it rather difficult to really get into this book, as the characters are rather philosophically inclined (to say the least), and spout on about various theories so much that I felt as though I were in philosophy 101 again. However, once the new resident entered the picture as a catalyst, I could see the story coming together nicely and enjoyed my read much more. Still, I don't give this a high recommendation as the first part of the book was rather a turn off for me.
