Bought Wednesday eaten and ended yesterday morning. I have heard of this novel while listening to a literary program there ten days. My passion for everything related to the "great war" m 'was irresistibly drawn to this author previously unknown to me. First, the choice of title, Goodbye above, put me in confidence: these are the last words of a 1914 shot (rehabilitated in 1922) to his wife; I like injustice being repaired .... and for that time, much remains to be done! Here the war is the star; Finally, its excesses, I mean all it can lead to violent, ugly, dirty. The trenches succeeded more putrid putrid world again, Pierre LemaƮtre described as uncompromising. The most cruel is the observation that in the pages that world continues today, leaving the bitter taste of unnecessary sacrifices with his lies even bigger, his "business" just as stinky ... Behind the known crime writer who keep you going until the end, I liked also the style, the accuracy of character analysis and the relentless diatribe against the "elite" worshipers of money and power that the leads there. In short, I liked: it keeps me anger, which I fed against those who exterminated my big brothers with impunity, French and Boche, pulling in fame and fortune.
