review 1: I found the first half of this book difficult to get into, and sadly a little boring. Then it picked up. Still trying to decide about the style of writing. I found that I had to just keep going, and not worry too much about detail, it would all come together. Then I wondered if this was deliberate. If it was, then that was quite clever, relative to the development of the story. All in all I did enjoy it. Maybe 2.5 stars...
review 2: The plot of Consolation is essentially this: a man falls headlong into a mid-life crisis after learning of the death of a childhood friend. But as always seems to be the case with Anna Gavalda, her books are not about plot but about characters. She creates people who are so rich and multifaceted that they seem far more real than ima... moreginary. Consolation is a beautiful musing on love and second chances and guilt and responsibility. I must confess, though, that I only gave the book a 3.5 Star rating, and if you've never read Gavalda, I'd recommend Hunting and Gathering instead of this one. less
