Harold and Maude

 

      by Colin Higgins 
 
 
Opinion: 
    I never read a book like this before.The book is about a twenty -    
year - old boy called Harold who likes funerals and hearses . Maude, 
his girlfriend is eighty years old ; she likes fast cars and modelling in 
the nude. It`s a very funny book but in the end  it`s really sad 
because Maulde kills herself. 
I like the book because this book is very different from the other 
books. It was the first time that I read such a delightful love story. 
 
 
Continuation: 
    After Maude`s death Harold vistits her grave every day. 
Sometimes he takes his banjo with him to the grave and plays 
Maude`s song. That makes him feel better.                                  
After two years Harold meets a twenty - year - old girl  at the 
cementery. Her name is Carol. Carol`s husband died too and so she  
visits his grave also every day. 
After a while Harold tells Carol about Maude and him and that 
nobody accepted their relationship. Carol is very astonish, when she 
hears this story because she was also in love with an much older man.      
They both has a similar past so they get along very well with 
eachother. 
One year after they met, they married and they promise never to 
die so soon like their lovers before did.
