The Love Hexagon [Paperback]

William Sutcliffe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 5, 2000

Meet Lisa, Guy, Keri, Graham, Helen, and Josh. With a tangle of secret lusts hovering amongst them, it only takes one betrayal to trigger a sudden collapse of social and sexual decorum. As these young Londoners fall in and out of bed with one another in a series of sexual adventures, misadventures, accidents, triumphs, and failures, casual indiscretions begin to have irreversible consequences. By turns funny and sad, embarrassing and moving, The Love Hexagon asks how deep loyalties within a group of friends run when eyes and hearts begin to stray.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beach reading, September 25, 2000

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.

This review is from: The Love Hexagon (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: The Love Hexagon (Paperback)

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....
