Masterful writing, gorgeous! Loved the insight into the literary world. Maurice is the character you love to hate! 

I also loved that you first see different people's point of views before seeing Maurice's point of view. Lastly, giving you an insight into his mind.

This book also makes a great discussion on 'when is a story yours'? This might be a good book for a book club.
