With Candypop, it's all or nothing. Both the character Candy pleased me by his down-to-earth side, as sometimes it seemed to me terribly capricious. The characters lack depth and consistency in their reactions that sometimes left me perplexed. Yes, I laughed a lot, but I was also very annoyed by the immaturity room (even adults!). To use a phrase that heroin use when speaking of his mother, Candypop is a novel "sparkling like an aspirin" ... who ended up giving me a headache by so many mass hysteria. .. but this aspect crazy / manic where heroines everywhere and cry for anything, it's just the trademark of chick-lit, right? Love it or do not like ...
What I liked most is the particular way in which the author described the music: bordering with synaesthesia, music becomes magical in his writing. Lauren Laverne knows the arts since it was itself a member of a group and manages to transmit this passion to his readers: it infuses the story all its dynamism, but also a totally offbeat side very pop.
The novel by Lauren Laverne is explosive like a bubble gum! Full of pep, should be at a relatively young public looking for a funny reading that does not take itself seriously, and even if I come out of this reading rather mixed, Candypop is a novel that encourages to dream and believe in itself. reading with rock earful.
