ceprentice 's review for:

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

---

I'm trying so hard to read this. I've even resorted to listening to it. But I can't, I just can't. The tragedy this two characters obviously feel is their due just escapes me. And the misanthropy, especially from a twelve year old, seems self-indulgent and gross. Maybe I'll try next year to see what others see in this book.
