Reader comments
This book is like Maugham sitting face to face with you, sharing his wisdom on life. His insight into human nature is amazing, and the ideas in the book are unique and profound. Maugham also told us through his own experience to stay awake and not be fooled by appearances. I was also inspired by his focus on the unknown, because the stories of ordinary people are often more touching. This is a book worth reading again and again.
