Desperate to read the new JK Rowling to see how this writer would come to get rid of the past "Harry Potter", I bought it, even if the synopsis left me puzzled. Initially confused by the multitude of characters I've had trouble identifying in the first 200 pages, one quickly realizes that all these individuals are detestable. Packed with defects, brutality ect ... each character is like mutilated by his character in this setting exaggerated scene. There is no way to happiness, and this "novel of black humor" as shown in the summary of this book is not funny at all. Profanity aimed at making realistic dwellers Fields and adolescents are present lécœurement up, turning them into caricature. Obscene scenes add nothing, and this book already muddy mess. I'm only 20 years, but this book made me very disappointed. If he had not carried the signature "Rowling" no doubt we would have hardly spoken to. Trying too hard to shed its literary past, the author comes to end worthy of a caricature Station novel.
