I rarely so bored

Strongly agree with Ethan's comment. I have read all the rave reviews about this novel but the enthusiasm I have been far away! The fact that there is no clear plot (multiple episodes that punctuate the life of a man does not a) did not bother me but I was unable to project myself in this story that left me completely cold. While I am a bookworm, it asked me a month of reading and every time I put myself it was like a chore. I can take one positive point: the translation seems excellent. Slater would have committed few novels in his long life, I do not regret it ...
