I found this very nice little thriller to read. It also reads quickly because it's less than 200 pages. Writing Jérémie Guez is fluid but rhythmic. It goes straight to the point and do not hurt us useless crap. It depicts a Paris (and its suburbs) dark, corrupt and rather unhealthy ...
The main character in the strings Rocked is Tony. He is a young man endearing. He lives alone with his mother, who is engaged in prostitution, and not know who his father ... He has great strength of character. This allowed him to always keep away from crime and crimes related to it. His uncle, who just played the role of father all his life, is a being surly. Their relationship "love / hate" is quite ambiguous but easy to understand.
The end, what can I say ...? Well I was not expecting it at all, but I think it is worthy of a great cinematic thriller!
At 24, Jeremie Guez is a promising French author. He signs here his second novel (also author of the Paris night released in 2012) which won the ink Sang Award for students in 2012 and was a semifinalist Award SNCF polar 2013.
Swung the ropes is a thriller that I learned to appreciate despite its blackness ... I heard he was going to be made into a film. I'm anxious to see what it will give, and who will be chosen to embody the boxer Tony ...
