Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

Excellent book. Intriguing and enjoyable. Full marks from me!

I'm about half way through and really enjoying it.

Loved this book - can certainly recommend it

I loved it too Craftycat definitely my book of the year !

So well written, I could easily picture Eleanor. Would love to read a sequel .

I agree that this is a brilliant book and very well written. It was the June Book Club 'Book of the month' (See earlier thread) and although I wasn't lucky enough to receive a copy, I was lent a copy by a friend. Definitely worth a read.

It's now available for 28 days to listen to on the BBC radio website. I like listening to a book I've read to hear how the voices sound compared to how they did in my head, if you see what I mean!

Have been listening every night on r4. Around 10.45pm.

Really enjoyed this book. Eleanor reminded me of that character in The Bridge who made us laugh with her remarks which revealed her lack of understanding in usual social interaction but at the same time was trying to analyse life around her. I have been recommending this book to friends and family.

I nearly bought it yesterday but wavered. Having read these reviews, I will buy it to take on holiday.

Reading it just now - already loving Eleanor .....

Just finished this really loved it.

Also - to be made into a film ?

I enjoyed it, too, but it got the thumbs down from a book group I'm in. I was surprised by that - they seemed to have read a different book from the one I had. Still, that's what makes book groups interesting!

I thought it was a really compelling story. Laugh out loud funny in places but tragic too. Uplifting.

I recently read this book and loved it from the first page. It was one of those books where you cared about the characters and wanted to carry on reading to find out what happened to them. I found it a very warm book too with very well drawn characters. I look forward to reading the authors next book.

It’s the best book I’ve read in a long time.

I picked it up in the library a few days ago and read it in 2 days. Absolutely loved it. Didn’t see “Mummy” coming!

We have just started a book club and it is on our list. Looking forward to reading it!

I have just finished it and think it is probably one of the best books I have ever read. It made me laugh and smile at times and then cry at other times.
It really brought home how loneliness can affect people and how small things can change one's perspective on life.
A brilliant read.

Just got from library after requesting it ages ago. Looking forward to a good read after all the recommendations ?

Finished it last night. If ever a book cried out for a sequel-this is it. Didn't want it to end.
Everyone should have a Raymond in their life

My daughter bought me this a while back but I only picked it up and started reading last week and am really enjoying it. It’s a good read on all sorts of different levels.

Superb book! I've now re-read twice. Love Eleanor's 'voice' and the way the story develops, with at least one twist I didn't see coming.

I did buy it for my holiday and really enjoyed it, though had to suspend a degree of disbelief.
