Customer Reviews

First book I've read by Sutcliffe, and despite the other reviews I liked it quite a bit...

While the plot might be nothing new, I really thought the author revealed some good insights into the nature of relationships and people's unspoken motivations in them. In some ways, it reminded me of Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity," without the music references. Generally it was well-written, and I found it far more entertaining and believable than the couple of novels I've read by Mike Gayle and other lad lit authors.

comedy and drama british style

i read this one a couple of weeks ago, because i was on a british kick...i was in england last fall and i really like the place and the people...what i liked most about the story was that..although the characters started out one way, by the end, they turned out unlike what i expected...and whether by choice or by circumstance, every one gets what they want....

A fantastic, entertaining read...

After reading Are You Experienced?, I eagerly checked out this novel and was not disappointed. The plot isn't groundbreaking but what makes the book so interesting is Sutcliffe's astute observations of single life and all of it's hilarity. This is the perfect book to read when you want to take a break from heavier stuff but this isn't to say that Sutcliffe shouldn't be taken seriously. His wit and dialogue make a perfectly engaging read that other writers could only dream of creating.

Great beach reading

I rushed through Sutcliffe's book over a weekend. His quick prose flows brilliantly through a complex multi-character story of relationships gone awry. I should be lucky to find friends who could psychoanalyze relationships this well. Love Hexagon is not heavy reading, but a complex journey any Gen-Xer will appreciate, infused with brilliant dialogue and Sutcliffe's wry humor. Recommended for a relaxing weekend read, or cross-ocean flights.

Sign of the times

An absolutely terrific book that probably would never be published in the U.S. without the help of U.K. success. Full of smart, witty and tone perfect dialogue, the story moves at a brisk clip and feels in many ways like a TV show or movie, but so what really? We lose too many good writers to movies/TV because the literary world refuses to accept that writers' ideas of comedy and story are out-pacing what used to be "literary". William Sutcliffe is a terrifically entertaining writer and for all those who love his books because of it, there will be a handful of influential who fear him because of it.
