'' 'A tantalizing summary for this common reading of April with copinautes The soul of the book. I expected chronic nasty little old well in the style Auntie Danielle, especially with the mischievous look of granny on the book cover. But it has not happened. Everything is rather vapid and rather sad if you think about it. Throughout the story, it still ramble and ramble. Sure, it's a satire of old age, but still. I also had some difficulty in remembering each character (there was a bit too much for my poor memory). There is of course a hint of humor in this story, but few, very few. Nothing really caustic as the summary foreshadowed. The story is a story without history, without much structure. As for the end, I found it terribly sloppy and farfetched. Even integrate an asteroid in history, much in excess to continue to the end and write a grand final. While there, no, a non-end. In short, a little disappointed with this reading. '' '
