Caring and a little awkward

"The extraordinary journey of the fakir who remained stuck in Ikea wardrobe, this is a incredible and hilarious adventure all over Europe and Libya postkadhafiste, a sparkling love story as Coca-Cola, but also a reflection of a terrible reality: the struggle of daily illegal, ultimate adventure of our century, "says the publisher. Certainly incredible, since the hero pursued by a Gypsy he finds himself tossed scammed despite himself from one country to the other in such diverse vehicles that Ikea wardrobe, a Vuitton trunk or a balloon that will wreck. Along the way he became friends with both Sudanese illegals with a movie star, finds love in front of a plate of Swedish meatballs and wrote a novel blindly into the hold of an aircraft.

Hilarious, by cons ... blah. I found the humor often forced: "Mary, meanwhile, replaced the receiver, as we have already said, devoured by the flames of a wildfire, that sentence does not mean much but has a metaphorical literary forces more effective, as well as alliteration in "f" not insignificant. " And then all these foreign names based on puns, this is a cumbersome! The style, marked by clumsiness of a beginner author would have been improved somewhat revamped downstream of the editorial production chain. In thought, I often grabbed my red pencil to correct a grammatically incorrect sentence, delete or correct repetitions of unfortunate choice of verbs.

As for feeling good, in fact, this novel overflows. But is that necessarily bad? I do not think so. In the middle of a story whose tone will generally funny and light, the issue of illegal immigrants is tackled without excessive sentimentality, with humanity and kindness which many people would do well to emulate today. Just for that, I understand and rejoice success of "The extraordinary journey of the fakir who remained stuck in Ikea wardrobe."
