I told my girlfriend about it, and she went out and bought it for me (yes she really is that nice). The person who sold it to her had read it twice already, and found it to be an incredible read. I am half way through it, and I am very impressed. The narrator has the ability to describe his situation and procedures with humor that seems at times to be a form of self preservation. Marianne is equally intriguing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good read. It truly does transcend all genres.

I read it in a matter of days. Quite intriguing. I do agree that covers are very important. It was because of the cover that I first picked it up (the Can/US version). I also agree that I like this version better than the UK's, but I supose in the long run it doesn't matter as the content is all the same. I thought it was a wonderful book.

I thought this book could possibly have been written by Maclaughlan Gray and wondered if there is more great Canadian literature that I don't know of. Here in the UK I just read the book. I remember the contents - wonderful - but not the cover. Interested in the BOOK COVER?

There's a video and a UGC mechanism that allows you to post details of how you have been 'burned by love'. See what you think... There are some articles on / reactions to the video here: - http://www.metafilter.com/73646/This-is-an-intense-love-story - http://papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/16/annals-of-ardor/ I am interested to see that the US cover for the book is, IMHO, nicer than the UK one - it's interesting because it's rare, I usually find US book covers are inferior to their UK counterparts. Of course, that could be national pride at work ;) Doubleday, the US publishers of the Gargoyle, have drawn my attention to the Burned By Love website that is supporting the book – http://burnedbylove.com.
