This latest novel Malzieu left me a strange feeling. I, like T.Ivanez, loved the beginning who presents Tom, an offbeat, wacky, original character, who goes through the land failed to make representations waterfalls, all in strolling through a foot coffin ... In short, I found the flambloyant delusions Malzieu in line with the core mechanics that I had loved .... I joined to the meeting with the bird-woman ... Then, j 'I found it bland, featureless .... boring and sometimes even poetic if ever .... until 30 last pages (the event impossible to say without saying too much), where there I found the author who knows me travel in a final, for once full of poetry .... In short, between a beginning and an attractive final, a large vacuum rather hollow corresponding to any transformation of Tom .... I hesitated between 2 and 3 stars in the end ...
