Normal People: The Scripts

Product Information

combines] deft social observation—especially of shifts of power between individuals and groups—with acute feeling . The novel touches on class, politics, and power dynamics and brims with the sparky, witty conversation that Rooney’s fans will recognize. Our mission is to foster a universal passion for reading by partnering with authors to help create stories and communicate ideas that inform, entertain, and inspire. This novel stands out shining from the current onslaught of mediocre prose and less-than-suspenseful thriller plots. I find both of the actors to be well-cast and hot, and that's the nicest thing I have to say about it.

Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heart-breaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves. Rooney’s spare and brilliant writing illuminates her insight and makes the unfolding of these two personalities completely compelling.

Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. The scriptwriting wasn't particularly great (it was very bare bones, most of the flesh is in Sally Rooney's dialogue), and it wasn't as visceral as the prose but this still gets 5* because it's such a brilliant story. It makes you relive watching the show for the first time and it makes you love and break right along with Connell and Marianne. I became infatuated with the TV show adaptation when it was broadcasted during the summer lockdown of last year, after I read the novel, and reading this just reminded me of how much I enjoyed binge-watching the series.
