This is an intense book that is going to stick with me and likely one I'll listen to more than once. I loved too much of it, too much of it had my emotions all tied up and it just missed being a five (but I bumped it up to a five on GR because it's more than a 4). I'm not writing a review because I ...
I couldn’t do it. I listened to 4 CD’s of this 7-pack novel and I finally had to stop. It was just too painful for me to continue. I think it was a combination of the main character and the narrator. There was just too much inner turmoil and reflection on the part of the main character Elio, that ...
Really nice story about a 17 year old teenager Elio meeting and falling for the house guest Oliver. Teenage boy being romantic, he is Italian, and falling for a young professor who came to live in his house, in his room, to work on his book and helped out with paper work with his father, They m...
"I had finally encountered the life that was right for me but had failed to have. " I finished the book last night actually and been staring into blank space since, wondering what to say about it. Should I declare that it is so poetically written, that it feels like Elio's words have formed an entit...

This was such a beautiful, bitter-sweet love story, delightfully poignant in places. Exquisitely written while both playing into and sometimes subverting some Italian stereotypes. Definitely a re-reading kind of material.

Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is wo...
5 you stole my breath, in every sense of the word, starsThis is not a story you can take lightly. From start to finish it drew me in and the only way I was able to put it down was when the call of sleep finally became impossible to ignore. Before I even began I knew I wasn't prepared for the stunnin...

Simple answer: Not my piece of cake!Detailed answer: I know myself and I know, that I will become... don't know how to say it in other words... bored.It's like shakespea...
This is not one of those books where I cried all the way through. I didn’t cry at all in fact. Until I realized it was over. And the fact that it ended where it did, how it did, destroyed me. And now, a few days later as I read other people’s updates of this book and the quotes they are includi...
