Not only is the first book I buy Franck Thilliez but again I was refused me to read even just one line in fourth Uncover. Random purchase. So I plunged headlong into an unknown that even made me a prisoner immediately. And this is the case to say. From the first page of the eyebrow is higher in the third things get exciting, the fifth one thinks that it is an idea crazy like rarely cross. Without being stupendous, the pen is coherent and has the tact not to lose time to spread into what is not necessary. Thilliez has talent especially in the ideas and constructions. Apart from two or three questionable (I will not say anything here otherwise spoiler), the psychology of the characters we constantly shakes in a shaker. One has the impression of bumping at all angles, the love in turn, blame them, not to understand them, to trust them or be afraid ... And there was this especially linking to each other they undergo this extreme that requires them to hate and help each other at once, this amazing puzzle that leaves us breathless. So yes, hard to let go before the end. Like them we are thirsty to know why they have to live this hell, who subjects them and they will get by.
Lightweight starting pitch for those who wish: three men wake up one day at the bottom of an ice chasm. They are chained, they do not know, come from different cities, have no idea why they are there. Two things will be essential: to survive and know.
