And it is paradoxically because it is not perfect, as the fate of the major female character, is sealed! It is also because it is lived in the first person, that pathological obsession hero rescues the story of the sinking, for a book, which otherwise would be boring! The psychology of the main character, the oversized ego because with complex, because he did not graduate because he does not belong to the social class of affluent, seems quite grotesque! But it is especially the style of the author who bothered me, reveling in a facade of rawness and having little control, and very little charme.Un novel thus suffers its imperfections!
