A review by piratet
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
4.0
It was a little heavy for commute reading, but I appreciated all the philosophy and deep thinking of the main characters. I loved the "hiding in plain sight" theme, and the burden of upholding others' expectations of you.
But WHY kill off the main character just as life was getting fun for her? Must one be miserable and constantly in service to others to survive? Didn't they do that (and brilliantly) already in "American Beauty?" Boo.
