It is a story of grief and yet it is funny from beginning to end ... almost, because there are also some sequences emotions ... It is often also completely crazy, as only perhaps Americans know how, in an extravagance that wicks complex whole. I had heard a lot about this author without ever having read (Joe's book, and Ruin, ...), so I did a test with his last title released. And I admit that the beginning is stunning, the scene where Judd finds his wife in bed with his boss at it's hilarious, endless and yet very strong in humor. And then I said to myself: it is very strong this guy. Alas, I have a little disillusioned thereafter, as I found too lengths to the novel, it seems to me quite inevitable in view of the chosen building: 7 days locked in a house, with couples completely barges, fingering the chapters day by day and sometimes almost hour by hour ... even if we toured the folledingues stories of each, not easy to renew. It's probably not an unforgettable novel but it's entertaining and fun novel, novel or a holiday beach, a relaxing novel. Believed by enough times, you have been warned. (But that's part of uninhibited characters!)
