Us: A Novel Review: The best book I have read for a very long time - I did not want this book to ever end. It was beyond glorious! It was so magnificently written that it felt like a movie playing in my head as I read it, it was so vivid. The author expertly brought the story to life; the characters were so complex and fascinating, oscillating between being flawed, lovable, irritating, boring, interesting, kind, mean, funny, intense - and so on. Without exception, each character was very human, very authentic and very credible. The story was sad, happy, poignant, tough - it traversed the gamut of emotions. A very clever, engrossing read, I really cared about.and identified with the characters. 'The Grand Tour' was such a descriptive, evocative gem - I could picture the places the family visited. In my head, I was there with them in Europe! The story was a blend of so much: a love story, family relationships, a travel adventure, the strength and weakness of the human spirit, loss, hope, resilience ... the list goes on. Clever, clever, clever ... the ending was an absolute doozy. Those few words at the end spoke volumes about the essence and character of the protagonist. So much said with so very few words. Utterly, superbly delightful, this was a rich and memorable read. Review: Are we there yet? - A feel-good book. Looked forward to each opportunity to read it, knowing I would thoroughly enjoy the experience. So often books on family relationships focus on the dreary aspects of family bickering, looming divorce possibilities, coming-of age-angst. This novel features all those characteristics, but with a quirky, upbeat, witty emphasis. The writing style is clear, concise, and amusing. Douglas and Connie, the man and wife, seem "real" - and a Grand Tour of Europe in an attempt to salvage the marriage and bond with Albie, the 17-YO offspring, doesn't stretch the bounds of credibility. Several scenarios seem unlikely, but, hey, this is a work of fiction and the author can do with the characters as he likes (or possibly the characters can lead the author around by the nose?). Albie is presented as the typical (stereotypical?) teenager. There are good reasons why he has a strained relationship with his dad, but I wish that Nicholls could have given a bit more attention to Albie's personality, thoughts, and goals (if any). I highly recommend any book written by David Nicholls, and put this one at the top of the list. "Us" won't give you profound insights into the meaning of life, but it will raise your spirits and help you realize that family relationships can be dysfunctional and still produce some tender moments. (4-1/2 stars). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #136,246 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,874 in Contemporary Women Fiction #4,436 in Literary Fiction (Books) #10,363 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (27,546) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.67 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0062365592 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062365590 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | June 30, 2015 | | Publisher | Harper Paperbacks | ## Images ![Us: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pxp0D+k4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book I have read for a very long time *by S***N on July 21, 2016* I did not want this book to ever end.

Well developed storyline, nice to see how art is incorporated - great to read about las Meninas, an amazing painting ! I liked the mild irony and humour, some events are a bit farfetched, but made me smile nevertheless. And that's what this book does : put a smile (and a grin) on your face --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/22251027-us-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.is/products/22251027-us-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
