Ilustration Conducive To Books Beginner's Greek

When Peter Russell finally meets the woman of his dreams he falls as madly in love as you can on a flight from New York to LA. Her name is Holly. She's achingly pretty with strawberry-blonde hair, and reads Thomas Mann for pleasure. She gives Peter her phone number on a page of "The Magic Mountain," but in his room that night Peter finds the page is inexplicably, impossibly, enragingly...gone.
So begins the immensely entertaining story of Peter and his unrequited love for his best friend's girl; of Charlotte and her less-than-perfect marriage to a man in love with someone else; of Jonathan and his wicked and fateful debauchery; and of Holly, the impetus for it all. Along the way, there's the evil boss, the desirable temptress, miscommunications, misrepresentations, fiendish behavior, letters gone astray, and ultimately, an ending in which every character gets his due.
Both incisive and wonderfully funny, this is a brilliantly understated comedy of manners in which love lost is found again.
"James Collins has written a romantic, funny and insightful page turner about love in modern times, missed opportunities and the wheel of fate (with a blow-out!) that is so engaging and real, you will find it impossible to put down. Peter Russell is an everyman filled with longing, lust and good sense. I promise you will root for him as fate throws him curves aplenty on his path to true love. BEGINNER'S GREEK and Peter Russell are keepers."
-- Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of "Lucia, Lucia" and "Big Stone Gap"

Crit About Books Beginner's Greek

I officially decided to give up on this book. I rarely abandon a book, but I could tell after reading first few chapters (and then skipping ahead to the middle of the book) that it simply isn't worth my time to wade through the author's self-indulgent ramblings that are intended to be character development (of characters who, as far as I could tell, were not particularly important to the story).Far too much time is spent drifting through various characters' thoughts, flitting from the past to

Beginners Greek is a modern urban fairytale with fable-like archetypes and improbable twists of fate. It is unabashedly and quite unsubtly about love with the Austenesque quandries of true love vs. our societys practicality.The story centers on Peter Russell a young Wall Street financial guy who is wildly and somewhat unbelievably romantic. He believes that fate will one day sit him next to the woman of his dreams his soul mate on an airplane flight. This indeed comes true when Holly comes in

This was HIGHLY disappointing. The review on the back compares it to Austen...NOT OKAY TO DO THAT! It's clearly written by a man who doesn't understand women. Oy!

Am I the only one who did not like this book? Or am I so black of heart that I could not bear the treacle? Perhaps I can suspend my disbelief for wizards and evil giraffes but not for open-hearted New Yorkers. Whatever the case - I waited so long to finally get a hold of this book only to find it wanting, hence the disappointment. And all the press was so good about it too.

Penultimate book of 2019, with possibly the worst cover I've ever seen. And it felt very familiar especially the beginning (I still feel I've seen this on film or something), but bogged down a bit in the middle. Always interesting to read a flat out romance from a male author, complete with a meet cute, comic bad timing, and of course, happy ending. I listened on Hoopla while sorting my clothes for expungement.

This book started off great, but lost speed for me. I skimmed most of it, mainly to see what happened. Okay, but too many great books out there to spend too much time with this one!The best part, after the first chapter, was the protagonist's dreadful boss. Worth reading those bits.
