My review about "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham I've already read "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham. In this book we introduce with Charles Strickland (his prototype is Paul Gauguin), who leave his wife, his children, his country for being an artist. He moves to Paris and lives there, then he goes to Tahiti and realizes that this place should be his home. I didn't like this book. I think people don't suppose to leave their children and they must love their motherland, but not some more beautiful and sunny places. Although I respect people who can put everything and follow their dream. I think this book is very lengthy. I wasn't interested, but in the future I'd like to read something else by Maugham. Did you read "The moon and sixpence"? Did you like it? Which else Maugham's books can you recommend me?

My review about "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham

I recently read "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham. In this book we are introduced to Charles Strickland (his prototype is Paul Gauguin), who leaves his wife, his children, and his country to be an artist. He moves to Paris and lives there, then he goes to Tahiti and realizes that his place is really at home.

I didn't like this book. I think people shouldn't leave their children and they should love their motherland, but not some more beautiful and sunny places. Still, I respect people who can leave/sacrifice? everything and follow their dream.

I think this book is very lengthy. I didn't find it very interesting, but in the future I'd like to read something else by Maugham.
Did you read "The moon and sixpence"? Did you like it? What other books by Maugham can you recommend to me?

I've heard good things about The Razor's Edge.
