For me who love the novels of Daniel Pennac, I have not been disappointed by it. I do not know where Pennac has been seeking such an idea but it is really twisted, unbelievable while being credible is amazing how these people who are in power and have power are sometimes so terribly ridiculous and humans. (At the same time it reminded me of my course of Latin American civilization in college, that even if they were not always exciting, were sometimes instructive). It is also very funny, I had a smile from one end to the other of the book. The problem is that history is sometimes a little confused, I mean by this is that the author has the unfortunate tendency to cut the story of the dictator and his lookalikes changing the subject of a chapter to another with personal stories that are interesting even if they are a little lose the thread of the story. The author skillfully blends fact real, lived and imagined, making that after a while we no longer know what is real and what is invented by the author, and therefore it is completely caught up in the history. What's funny is that the author is aware of it since critic himself through his story, and you learn a lot about him, as if the author confided to her a little Readers using the "I". This book is a good read, why not been in his hammock!
