The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

5.0

Lovely.

I've started about six books in the last two weeks, and I finally finished one. Sometimes I am restless when starting new books. I do not know the mood I am in and what book will satisfy my restless attention span.

When a book captures my attention and puts me at ease the moment comes when I realize I am nearing the end of the book. It is a painful exciting time as I keep checking the time left. I cannot wait to find out how the book will end, but I also want it to keep going on. It's wonderful. That is the Elegance of the Hedgehog.

The book is about connecting with people. It is a wonderful look at how we isolate ourselves from the world to be ourselves. Life is lived though when you find those people that you can be yourself around.
