Versus was sitting in my library since a slight month, I regret not buying laundry read soon in bookstores as the latest novel Dantoine Chainas ton of power and my seized from beginning to end. I will not write yet another review but rather describe what I liked and least favorite. The focus seems to be based on perversion and / or corruption of souls, passing the yellow line to fall in the worst torments, deviations and misdeeds. Here Chainas, with undeniable knowledge of the police environment, evokes emotion transport cop to Hyde. Versus is political, social and engaged against a disintegrating society. The main character, with all its Nazutti unbearable faults, slams the reader by its darkness, its violence, its cynicism and its authenticity. Rarely, a pen manages to both camp policeman suspended in the void between abyss, hope and despair. Why so much violence, beatings and scorn? By contrast, or initiatory process, the novel me (this is my reading) shows that the war announced against the company rot the cop let us consider another side of existence. Chainas happens sensitively to not suffocate the reader with a Nazutti that could eat the novel by high extraordinary personality; the secondary characters semboîtent perfectly in the decor and the frame while keeping the relief. The rhythm sways between voltage phases conducted briskly and without respite drag on. Sentences are arranged with a scalpel and the words hit like a whip. The plot, although secondary léloquence in the novel, takes the shock. A novel that not only will mark the year 2008, but which also announced (or confirmed for those who have read the first Chainas) the advent of a great author. Quickly conquered by the style, lightning and gun Versus after ten pages, I also quickly commanded the first installment of Chainas "Love me Casanova".
A novel that moves and shakes.
