The Moon and Sixpence Audiobook

" As good as the Razor's Edge. Story of Gauguin and his parcours as a normal person who then dedicated his life to becoming a painter. Makes me think of Maupassant. A pleasure to read and quite witty "

" I really adore Maugham. The style, the feeling, the irony and honesty. Beautiful writing. "

" Maugham is my favorite author. I fear his name and reknown might make his books seem unapproachable and difficult to read because they are considered English literature. Not so! I love his books because while they are obviously fine writing, they are so easy to read and understand. So much "literature" is written in obscure style-to me anyway- Maugham writes clearly and beautifully. "

" I just love the way W. Somerset Maugham writes: All gentleman-like even about the most debauched subjects. This is a good book for those in career transition or studying midlife change. Paul Guaguin did a honey of an about face in his life. Read it and weep. "

" the amazing and destructive gaugin! "

" "You funny little man," said Strickland "

" Writing that has depth but maintains readability. The characters are really interesting, and the themes (human compassion, art, past/present, love) are threshed through in an extremely compelling way. I don't really know why I loved it so much, but it has definitely become one of my favorites. "

" I've wanted to read this book for many years, purely because I was attracted by the title! I had no idea what the story was about. I was so surprised, and thoroughly enjoyed this read! So much so that I read Maugham's 'Of Human Bondage' straight after!!! :-) "

" Maugham once again has amazed me with his sharp wit, piercing insights into human character, and beautiful prose. "

" i reread this every now and again. i always enjoy maugham's first person narrations of misfits, this and Razor's Edge are perennial favorites. "

" My favorite book. Loose interpretation of artist Paul Gauguin's life. "

" This is probably my favorite Maugham so far. Although it is a quick read, I was left with the beautiful turns of phrases, imagery, and sadness that basically leaks from its core. Read it with Gaugin and his colors in mind, and you won't regret it. Highly recommended. "

" Read a review on the garden that highly underrated the book. The plot is hardly interesting, given the times we live in, where a man leaving his wife and family to discover himself is hardly new... but the writing, the writing! The genius of Maugham! "
