2.0 out of 5 stars Claustrophobic Mar 30 2011
By Peter
Format:Paperback
I have friends and acquaintances who loved this book but if I hadn't been reading it for a book club I would have bailed after 20 pages. The action takes place mostly in the narrators 17-year-old, tortured-in-love mind and is an endless worried round of could he, will I, when he and what if. The writer does have a beautiful turn of phrase if you can stand to be in his small, extremely anxious world and I do admit to being ultimately quite moved by the ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book blew me away. Nov 18 2009
By A. hickes
Format:Paperback
In a lifetime of loving books and reading I had never reread a book. This was the first.

A short review, but there were many reviews when this book came out and there are articulate, fine, nuanced ones on the net. Find them. Read them.

'"This thing that almost never was still beckons, I wanted to tell him.' They 'can never undo it, never unwrite it, never unlive it, or relive it. ... Going back is false. Moving ahead is false. Looking the other way is false.'"

"'Ultimately, the real site of nostalgia is not the place that was lost or the place that was never quite had in the first place; it is the text that must record that loss.'" This novel is one such text.

2.0 out of 5 stars mr aciman has an exaggerated sense of his own tenderness in this treacly coming of age story. he wants to be Proustian but is o July 6 2009
By constant reader
Format:Paperback
mr aciman has an exaggerated sense of his own tenderness in this treacly coming of age story. he wants to be Proustian but is only prolix and overwritten, and his narrative of an Italian boy in his late teens falling in love with a slightly older American grad student seems singularly unpersuasive, especially in its pseudo-lyrical sex scenes, which echo the tropes of gay porn without any of their energy. The most egregious section of the book, meant to record an extended ecstasy bred of passion - the lovers go on a 3-day jaunt to Rome - is the low point of the book: repetitious, tiresome and full of Tiger Beat amorous enthusiasm. Surely the most over-hyped 'gay' novel of the season, Call Me By Your Name's central pair are so quiveringly sensitive they set my teeth on edge.
