Brilliant!
I brought this a month ago, and I'm so glad I did. I read reviews prior to reading it and wondered whether it was going to live up to my expectations, but I'm glad to say it exceeded them. The book is about a topic which I think most of us can relate to but don't talk about, and there were parts in the book which made me think about values you should have as a person and apply to everyone you meet as you never know the circumstances people are going through. It was a touching, beautifully wrote, though provoking book and I loved it!

A very moving story
I really enjoyed this book, the writing was very descriptive, I felt I was actually watching Eleanor as she journeyed through her very difficult life learning that she was actually valued as a person. The kindness of others had a very dramatic effect in changing Eleanor's life enabling her to deal with a past that had scarred her not just physically but psychologically. I was so gripped by the writing that I read the book in two days.

YOU MUST read this book
I got given a copy of this book and a brief description and thought I'd give the first chapter a go one evening,.. and I couldn't put the book down until it was finished!!! I found the main character, Eleanor, to be both unique and humorous, and was completely intrigued by her gestures and emotional and raw back story, which you found out more and more about as the story progressed. The story follows her lonely and mundane life, but with one event changing her perspective and putting her out of her routine she was able to experience kindness and friendship like she hadn't experienced before. The book is enlightening and a really lovely read, heart wrenching throughout (both happy and sad!). Please read this book and share with your friends, I haven't heard one person who hasn't loved it!

Intreging.
This book is a hilariously raw emotional rollacoster. I must read. It is enlisting to say the least.

Brilliant!
This novel is quite different from the fast paced thrillers I normally read. I love the writing and also how original this book is. I find myself thinking “what would Eleanor think of this?” quite often. It changes the way you look at things. It reminds you how important kindness is. It’s a life affirming book. Highly recommended.

Unique Read!
I loved this book. Th main character is intriguing and I couldn’t help but wonder how she was going to turn out. The more I read, the more I loved her character. A young woman with a shocking past and trying to live a life around it; alone. Some lovely insights into human kindness and friendships formed. I know I have had a read a great book when I have finished it in a few days and I am sad it has come to an end. Fabulous work. I hope there might be a follow up story someday.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
I purchased this book not long back. I am a 25 year old female and I do like a good old romantic novel. I thought this was the case when purchasing the book and It was the compete opposite. It took a while to get into the read a couple of chapters before I started to enjoy it. I am just over half way and It is a good read. I wouldn't say it was brilliant but it is very touching and quite sad. I would give it a read. a 6 out of ten for me. My friend who is reading this also agrees. Give it a read and see what you think :)
