What more imaginary indeed that this framework unemployed, forced to be recruited, to show his skills during a mock hostage whose sequestered themselves ignore the simulation.
We know the fertile cynicism of employers, but then the devil came into their head. So, if you accept this basic lucubration (but will he be long in the science fiction?), You can immerse yourself in this romantic fable.
So I was expecting a thriller with the backdrop of a perverted society that treats us as the peels of a fruit that comes from eating.
The beginning gave me hope, despite a style that bothered me right away. As much a story perhaps unlikely, so I like that writing is imbued with the darkness of the subject. In "1984" by George Orwell, it is not pleasant in the narrative of events. So when Alain Delambre met for the first time and that his recruiter told him during the interview: "You're going to play me informal" or "You play on the fact that we have almost the same age to see if I'll fall for that ... ", then I'm all of a sudden much less receptive. The distance that has just been created between history and style, has all of a sudden me away any tension. I think that the hero is not up to the role we want it to play.
Another disappointment: the story culminates in the middle of history. After, we start on a rather disappointing development, breaking with the shock of the first part.
The hero is also very talkative; it is he who tells a part of the action, but it says a lot too, much like the verbiage of a bar counter. All this tends to dilute the plot to transparency.
Well below "prom dresses".
