False with unreal characters - By: , 11 Jul 2002 
Sorry, but I don't know ANY females that behave as those do in "The Love Hexagon"! I'm female myself & I certainly aren't nasty & vindictive like the girls in this book. It's as if the author makes up the plot as he goes along & invents totallly unlikely events & conversations whenever he finds himself at a dead end. Also, why, if he is so good looking & such a nice person, does nobody like Josh except Lisa, even when they have only just met him & haven't had time to find out what kind of person he reallly is? Surely no man could be as bad as Josh in bed (his clumsy, schoolboy-like fumblings that he believes to have resulted in true love & a perfect match)! Each of the other characters alll seemed to be so wishy-washy and, because of this, I didn't reallly develop an interest in how things would turn out for any of them (except poor Josh, I suppose!). I don't understand how Lisa & Guy could suddenly go from being a 'pallly', settled couple to Lisa hating Guy's guts & wanting to split up with him & yet acting alll nasty & hurt when he sleeps with someone else! The characters were just unbelieveable & so was the storyline. From reading other reviews of this book, I don't think that this novel is up to the ususal standard of William Sutcliffe, so I won't give up on him just yet; I'll try another of his books & hope for better next time.
Mills and Boon for the urban twenty-something - By: , 23 Oct 2000 Would be better as a short story in a magazine. There are other books out there far better at covering relationships & London life. Try Ben Richard's Throwing the House Out of the Window for a start.
An accurate portrayal of London for people in their twenties - By: Rufus Turner, 11 Jul 2000 
This book was recommended by a review in the Observer. It is my first novel that I read by William Sutcliffe.
I found it very easy to read & of good humour. It is about relationships & acceptance & rejection between six twenty-somethings in London. It analyses relationships in a light hearted yet serious way at the same time.
As fellow reviewers have said, the ending is rather formulaic & the book rather fizzles out but overalll the book is a good, easy to read & interesting book about relationships & emotions
The Best Sutcliffe Read YET - By: , 14 Jun 2000 
... & let's face it, that's saying something. I've just come back from holiday (in Morocco, since you ask), where I spent two days glued to this book, ignoring alll my friends. I laughed so much that they alll insisted on reading it too.
The Love Hexagon is the painful, true-to-life & hilarious account of group of mates who start off with completely the wrong people. It's perfect & so accurate on the awful no-persons-land of early- to mid-twenties, when we're alll floundering around wondering what job to do & who to get together with.
I've read his other books, that I also love, but I think this is his best yet. There are lots of books around at the moment on this suject but no one else can hold a candle to him.
Trust me, it's just brilliant.
Not worth the time - By: , 09 Jun 2000 His first two books were v good but this one was far too predictable & contrived. The ending is obvious & the characters unappealing.
