A well written and moving book that deals with the reality of modern life in an unusual and quirky manner.

Ordinary, lovable Larry, made extraordinary by his passion for mazes, is a wonderful creation. I'm interested that a woman has written what to me seems a truly believable portrait of the modern male. But then I'm a woman... any men out there want to comment?

Definately one to be re-read and enjoyed again before I pass it on.

Twenty years in the life of florist turned maze designer Larry Wells. I liked the way this novel was structured and it was an improvement over "Unless", but I don't think I'll be reading any more of Carol Shields' novels, as I find them curiously uninvolving.

I got this at the Nottingham Bookcrossers' Meet-up today. I am looking forward to reading it right away. I have read one Carol Shields book before - Unless - which I thought was excellent.

I liked it a lot. I persuaded my husband to read it after me; he claims he "doesn't like female authors" and indeed the two books by women I have forced him to start before (one was The Witch of Exmoor by Margaret Drabble, one of my favourite authors, but I don't remember the other) he abandoned unfinished. But - hey - he liked Larry's Party, at least a little bit. Maybe I can even get him to journal it, so we can get that much-sought man's perspective ;)
