Harvee Lau Many either loved the novel, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, or disliked it. Here's my take ( I gave it 5 stars). http://bookbirddog.blogspot.com/2009/...

I liked this book for its social satire and the "criticism" of modern French manners and society through the main characters.

I liked Renee's philosophical discourses on art, literature, beauty, and life. Her character is drawn to show that social stereotypes are just what they are - stereotypes. A concierge brought up in relative poverty is not what may seem to the outside world. She hides her knowledge of literature and art and her love of classical music because she, like the young girl Paloma, wants to be left alone by people who wouldn't understand her.

I recommend the book for who enjoy reading about unusual and rebellious characters and who like social satire.
