J'ai fini le livre seulement parce que c'est un pote qui me l'a prêté, mais j'ai eut beaucoup de mal avec. Il y a des passages un peu plus émouvant que d'autres et les personnages sont dans l'ensemble bien écris et attachant, mais l'humour n'a absolument pas marché sur moi, et certaines réflexions sont à la limite du raciste et ont extrémement mal vieilli
