This was a delightful little read. I loved the characters. They were described so realistically I felt I knew them. It is so tightly written. Murphy doesn't waste a word, or his reader's time. I laughed out loud more than once. Saving Aurora is thoroughly enjoyable.
I loved it

I read this book in one sitting. It's hilarious. The ensemble are all developed well and likable. Murphy's writing is funny, mean and sweet at the same time. He clearly loves the characters and I could see him writing the story laughing at his clever self. I loved the twists. The plot was VERY well constructed, and the ending is a nice, bittersweet surprise. This is a must read.
Hysterically funny and profoundly moving!

What can I say about Murphy's prose... mixing humor and serious topics in any novel is a tough assignment, and Murphy tackles the task with aplomb. He's clearly a writer with talent to spare.
A Great Book!

An over-all great book! One minute I was fighting back tears, and the next minute I am laughing out loud! I found myself getting wrapped up in the lives of all these people in the book, and couldn't put it down until I was finished. I recommend this for everyone!
