Days (Paperback)

Customer Review

Anything can be put on the shelf and everything on the shelves can be sold! This is based on the maxim that the Days magazine, the largest and most beautiful Gigastore Europe, was built. With its 666-rays, the store receives every day thousands of visitors Gold cardholders, Silver or Aluminium, all aware of their privileged position dheureux. For in a world where poverty is everywhere, where everything is going to de-water in politics as in economics, be a customer of Days is not just a convenience, it is a dream, the fantasy of millions of little anxious workers sélever above their social caste. And this dream, Laura and Gordon Trivett finally come to realize it! This Thursday they will put first foot in the store sacred speaker system, participate in titillating flash sales and access status envied by all, that of consumer.

But if some people burn dentrer in the store, other Nont quune want, leave it. This is the case of Frank, member of the security service and Days so used to melt his personality in that of Gigastore that it does not distinguish even its reflection in the mirrors. Before being lost completely, Franck decided to flee: this Thursday will be his last day in the store. But all does not go as planned for some as for others. Because rumors dinsurrection rumble in the bowels of Days ... The books radius declared war linformatique than ever to steal customer and space sales, a conflict that the seven heads of the seven Days son Septimus Days, founder of the store have too long ignored, that they were absorbed by their sibling rivalries. To champion the cause of Literature and revenge so badly that the Gigastore reward his years of loyal service, the director of books radius is ready for all ends, even the worst

If this book makes me think of a movie, this is good to "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam, but where the American director sattaquait with a black humor to devastating excesses of bureaucracy, Lovegrove, he targets the excessive consumerism. The two works have in common the same dark humor, the same satirical lightning, the same taste for labsurde same acid and cruelty. True temple dedicated to the god Money, the Gigastore Days is a jungle, a ruthless world where the strong devour without truce or weaker complex where young son of wealthy bourgeois balafrent poor face sharpened edge of their Gold cards the simple pleasure of proving their social preeminence. Novel both disturbing and exhilarating, "Days" turns out a "Fahrenheit 451" worthy heir of Bradbury and "1984" dOrwell.
