Reseñas de la Crítica

"[An] instant classic. . . . One of the most hilarious and emotionally riveting love stories you’ll ever encounter." —People

“Big, absorbing, smart, fantastically readable." —Nick Hornby, from his blog

"[Nicholls] has a gift for zeitgeist description and emotional empathy that's wholly his own. . . . [A] light but surprisingly deep romance so thoroughly satisfying." —Entertainment Weekly

“Nicholls offers sharp dialogue and wry insight that sounds like Nick Hornby at his best.” —The Daily Beast (A Best Book of the Summer)

"Fluid, expertly paced, highly observed, and at times, both funny and moving." —Boston Globe

"Those of us susceptible to nostalgic reveries of youthful heartache and self-invention (which is to say, all of us) longed to get our hands on Nicholls’s new novel. . . . And if you do, you may want to take care where you lay this book down. You may not be the only one who wants in on the answers." —New York Times Book Review

"Who doesn’t relish a love story with the right amount of heart-melting romance, disappointment, regret, and huge doses of disenchantment about growing up and growing old between quarreling meant-to-be lovers?" —Elle, Top 10 Summer Books for 2010

“A great, funny, and heart-breaking read.” —The Early Show [CBS]

"Funny, sweet and completely engrossing . . . The friendship at the heart of this novel is best expressed within the pitch-perfect dialogue/banter between the two." —Very Short List

“A wonderful, wonderful book: wise, funny, perceptive, compassionate and often unbearably sad . . . the best British social novel since Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up!. . . . Nicholls’s witty prose has a transparency that brings Nick Hornby to mind: it melts as you read it so that you don’t notice all the hard work that it’s doing.” —The Times (London)

“Just as Nicholls has made full use of his central concept, so he has drawn on all his comic and literary gifts to produce a novel that is not only roaringly funny but also memorable, moving and, in its own unassuming, unpretentious way, rather profound.” —The Guardian (London)

Simply perfect.....

One of the best stories I've "read" in a long, long time. Recommend this book to everyone.

Great Story... GREAT Narrator

I could hardly rip myself away from this story, staying up late into the the night to finish. A great read and I can't speak highly enough for the reader of this book- who did an OUTSTANDING job with it! Totally "credit worthy".

Depressing

Having just come off 36 hours of a very dark book, we were looking for something a little lighter. One Day was the wrong choice. Hours of real-time drunken bouts and characters who are deeply unhappy. The story is relentlessly frustrating and sad, but only because it is a microscope trained on sad, frustrated lives. One Day is well written and well read, so if you don't mind sharing a deep, dark funk for 17 hours, you may find this book rewarding. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Like music to my ears!

The writing is stunning. The vocabulary is so rich and melodious, paired up with an incredible narration, this makes for a very invested listening experience. The book begins and it’s so direct in the perspective of the two characters involved that you believe them from the onset. What you discover as the years go by in their lives is that nothing will happen as they thought it would. It is a beautiful concept to explore one day in the shared life of this friendship for the duration of twenty years, every day on that day. Inevitably I found myself pondering those long-standing meaning relationships I’ve had in my life, their impact, their value, their resonance, and ultimately that is what great literature should bestow upon us: a deeper perspective, a new frame of reference, another way of looking at life.

Third English novel which I have studied

I started to read it for earning English language. Sentences are easy to understand and beautiful. Loved it. I don't want to meet a guy like Dex though.
