Half brothers Bruno and Michel have nothing in common except a mother. Michel is a molecular biologist and seems totally inept at forming human relationships and Bruno is sex obsessed. This book examines the state of modern society and in particular its breakdown and pointlessness. It paints a bleak and dystopian picture of the modern human male - it's written by a man about men. It is full political and social (French) history, graphic sex (verging on pornography at times) science and philosophy. It's not an easy read, one may say the subject matter is 'deep', and it is quite depressing too. You may think the author is a pretentious tosser - he probably is - but it is worth sticking with. It is thought-provoking, controversial and utterly gripping.

I purchased this book for my Nook while it was "on promotion" with Barnes & Noble for $5; AND WHAT A GREAT THING I DID -- I ABSOLUTELY ADORED ONE DAY!! The format of writing was sublime - moving the storyline ahead quickly without feeling like you had missed out of the other 364 days of their year. I hated Dexter for the better part of the novel, but this was obvious the intent. Instead of turning me off to the book, it only fueled my desire to read on. The message, if we can call it that, really shook me to my core. I honestly felt my jaw drop and tears roll right out of my eyes and there is no shame in admitting how powerfully I was affected. It forced me to reflect on my own life, my own relations, and my own legacy. I might be overstating this a bit, but I think what Nicholls did with One Day was masterful.. the best kind of reading. Do yourself the favor and read it, too.
