I find the character of Eleanor Oliphant unforgettable. Her views on life were so factual & tragically funny, and as she found her voice, her inner strength, and created powerful bonds with people, (and Glen), I found myself cheering for her. Her life experience and how she dealt with her past was touching, inspirational, sad, and at the same time funny, and I admired the characters that entered her life, especially Raymond, for showing her kindness, support, and love. I found these characters to be representative of the good side of human nature that I hope (and believe) most people possess. I won't spoil it but for those of you who haven't read the book...but for those of you who have: at first, I thought I knew the truth about her mother - and then I was surprised by what I thought was 'the truth' - and then, my original thoughts on the truth turned out to be true :) In short, fantastic book, outstanding writer and I highly recommend.
