The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Muriel Barbery

I read this for book club, very late by the way. I feel so bad, I always read the book before we meet this is only the 2nd book I haven't finished and the last one I had read before...
Anyway, I love book club because you read books other people pick that you might not pick yourself. I would not have chosen this book. It was cool that it was translated from French, I think I said with The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo that I think it makes me feel smarter even though it really doesn't mean anything. I thought the book was okay. Pretty slow, I think it took 3/4 for me to really get interested and then I thought it ended rather abruptly. So, I didn't think it was great, but I am not sorry I read it.
