..I totally agree with the comment rhumbs ... I would have said that it was also the style of a thriller with lots of unnecessary blas blas, that give the impression that the author is paid the number of words, a strong childish side, all on a Western culture frame that sounds strange .It took me almost 600 pages (out of 637) to find the interest Oedipal quest has ... nothing original, however, I found the end of more interestingly illuminates the initiatory side of the book and falls back to earth, which is reassuring ...
