This is the third novel by Laurent Bénégui I read, and we must face the facts: the author is a sadist! Again, he plunges his character in a series of disasters all more terrible than each other for the hero (a Laurent elsewhere ...), but all funnier each time for the reader! So, we take pleasure in trying to guess what will be the future "tile" that occur in the life of the narrator (the novel is told in 1st person).
But the novel is not only a summary of all the misfortunes that may occur in our daily lives. Indeed, it is also developing very finely some humanist philosophy that never dark in a primary moralism (allegedly unsavory under the sarcastic tone of the author), which allows a double reading of the book attractive enough .
The result is an exciting novel that reads as fast as SMS! :-)
