The subject is serious, but how to present the story is very original, which earned this novel the success it is. This is a book that is easy to read at the beginning, the writing is fluid, the satisfying translation, so that interest does not wane. Then comes the crux of the matter, the Gordian knot, it's hard to believe, we would leave the atmosphere of this meal that took a bad turn because of external events. At the same time, in parallel, the quality of food is poor, like the restaurant and wanted to get "fired" these particular clients. Yet we remain, we want to know the outcome. That is the goal sought by the author, and it works. Finally, the second part of the novel is not necessarily attractive, it is very disturbing, to be left to go. However, I welcome the talent of the author, who so meticulously prepared and organized his "dinner". As for the controversy over the moral of the story, there would naturally what to say. But that is not my main news.
