About this listen
'The literary phenomenon of the decade.' Guardian
'The book that defined a generation.' Stylist
**The modern classic behind the BAFTA-winning series. **
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation - awkward but electrifying - something life-changing begins.
Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can't.
'Tender and devastating.' Guardian
'A book to cancel plans for.' Grazia
'A classic coming-of-age love story.' Vogue

immature
Very dull and immature book. There was no real story line just a series of uninteresting happenings. Almost like this was written in a way that someone read out their own diary yet nothing of any interest happened.

Normal scenes but well done
I felt like this book was made whole by its lack of glamour and the expectations of what the characters ought to be doing, it’s a great read

Enjoyed the plot
I think this was a charming book. Even with some of the language in the book being a bit rude, it didn’t take away from the interesting story between the two. Enjoyed the book overall

Normal and boring
I have been hunting for the English version of this for ages. I had seen endless reviews of the TV show which I couldn’t see because I live in a country where it was not available so was excited to finally get my hands on the audio book - and it was so disappointing! A boring story of teenage sex….oh well. The delivery was, for me, also irritating: I can imagine male and female voices in my head when I read, I don’t need a woman to lower her voice for the male parts in an audio book, it’s just sounds ridiculous. Didn’t finish this one. Got about third of the way through and found a more interesting book.
