The first 2 books of D. Vann had really liked me. So I waited with his next haste. There I was first cooled by the comments from Amazon, putting on stand by my purchase ... & then I heard my Books on France Info + say the greater good, so I gave , ... 23 What a disappointment, as is impure in the sense of bad. It is not within the pseudo madness in which the author wants to plunge us, we do not find this darkness of the 2 previous novels. No stay in this story, free sanguinolant, pushed to excess that turns ridiculous, pornography which is equally (ridiculous). A too much, we can fall into mediocrity, it's not all want to knock the family unit, it is still necessary to do brilliantly. & There is not psychology. & & Then writing the dialogues especially displeased me the escapades "newageiennes" the hero are elements of a style together in a haphazard, just left me on my hunger. I expected a lot from this story, and I remained completely outside, all that violent means and who falls like a bellows, nothing in all this pleased me. My only pleasure was to reach the last page, and until the end hooked me nothing, not even the descriptions. Move on!
