Personally, I am appreciative. If mavait quun writer said (it should be noted that this is his first book published in France and it is 1997) would keep me in suspense for six hundred pages of human relationships and two men who "seek" (without seeing the more often) ten years before I thought mennuie.Jaurais cétait impossible mission, it has to move to please me !!! And yet.
Six hundred pages for ten years ten years to be with a cop killer and a chameleon lon following in their relationships with others but also between them
Do not believe in a cat and mouse game, this is much more subtle, perverse, sly, ultimately unhealthy. Dailleurs the killer would it not the epitome of evil?
Each of these two characters trying to get into the spirit of the other to better know, touch in what it believes to be its weaknesses and take him where he wants to "pinch". But nothing is simple or easy. For lun and the other surround the "game" from the one in front and try danticiper what it will do, then changing to deceive dattitude "enemy" when handling. This puts the reader uncomfortable (and this is of course the goal, we are in the thriller, dark, black). Moreover, he discovered the hidden side of all the individuals that inhabit this album. Because not nimaginez that only two men have personalities mentioned "complex"
I found fascinating the way daborder "dependence" of the killer to his victims. Where it says among other things that he can not kill someone that he "knows" that he covets léternité.
"It is also felt close that it was humanly possible léternité borders, but he does not he saw was denied, hunted, dwarfed because of his detestable human limitations. "
I do not know how Roderick Thorp sy is taken for search and souls but his writing is often very "intimate" deep, provided it does not feel "voyeur" or "shrink". We progress in the consciousness of these men, in their ego, stepper .. the text is constructed so that it stuck with us even lorsquon poses the book, the content haunts us. Cest. pernicious because words are gaining ground and say quon is captivated by the Mal.preuve sil were needed that this album is excellent book !!!
The translator must have had a lot of work because transcribe emotions, feelings, thoughts, reasoning, is not easy; identify the operation of troubled minds and find the right words to say either. So kudos to her. As for the author, want Sonatine continues to make us discover his work, even posthumously (he died in 1999).
