But can we all talk about how incredible, absolutely beautifully Armie Hammer read this? His voice is so rhythmic, melodic, hypnotizing. There were a few passages that were pretty graphic and really cemented the idea that this love wasn’t the healthiest. The timeline of the story didn’t make sense- they ignore each other for 2 weeks (according to Elio) and spend many, many days not talking but yet they have time in Oliver’s 6 weeks there to form this bond? This book is not an ode to first love, it’s an ode to crazy obsessions. I found it frustrating to only have the story come from his extremely narrow voice. Elio thinks one thing and then changes course and thinks the opposite. Most of the story is Elio’s stream of consciousness, there is surprisingly little dialogue between the characters. Elio is not in love with Oliver, he is obsessed and obsessive. I guess that just makes it more like a real obsessive relationship. On the other hand, I was a little bored, frustrated and confused. On one hand, I was totally mesmerized and deeply engrossed in it. While you might think this one isn’t worth a listen if you’ve already seen the movie or read the book, many reviewers say it is still worth taking in even if you know the story - some even say it’s worth listening to more than once." (AskMen) "Hammer’s soft, velvety voice lends itself perfectly to the story and its Italian setting.
André Aciman's critically acclaimed debut novel is a frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.
