About book A Kind Of Loving (1960)

This deserves a pretty lengthy review, being so great and all, but I'm typing this on my pad, which I hate, so... And it's hard to say much about it without spoiling everyone. In short, this is a brilliant book about the lack of love. As far as love stories go, it's very refreshing. It's a quick read, partly predictable, but not all the way. Towards the end I really could not stop reading. Don't let the beginning or perhaps first 20% fool you - this is NO cute romance. I just liked it more and more as the angst kept piling up. Lesson to learn from this? Beware of pretty people who don't read books. This book was one I managed to get through considerably quickly, helped by the fact I couldn't sleep after a house party. The story itself was predictable at times, but there were a few surprises along the way, and the humour in the conversations, for lack of a better word, between our central character and his mother-in-law from hell are rather entertaining. I won't be reading this book again, but it wasn't bad.

another one I read when I was a teenager and loved it - probably a bit old fashioned now though!

This is an amazing period piece that probably hasn't gotten enough play in the US.
