review 1: Nl versieHet levensverhaal van Abdel Sellou, oftewel Driss in de film 'Intouchables'. Abdel moet als peuter zijn geboorteland Algerije verlaten en gaat bij zijn oom en tante in Parijs wonen, waar hij al heel jong in de kleine criminaliteit belandt. Als hij Mr Pozzo ontmoet en voor hem gaat werken, verandert zijn leven. Het is ook de start van een mooie vriendschap.Onwaarschijnlijk verhaal, dikwijls echt grappig, soms aangrijpend.
review 2: This book was narrated by a man using a thick French accent. My only problem with the narration was thinking he was saying "enema" when in fact he was saying "animal". The story of a young man who had no direction or drive, content to con, steal, or swindle for his livelihood. In order to continue to collect unemployment, he
... more needed to look for work. He was sent for a job as a life companion for a rich man who had become a quadriplegic. He doesn't want the job, just a signature that he showed up for the job interview. There companionship helped both participants, but Sellou turned his around becoming an honest businessman with a family. Interesting listen.A movie was made about the two main characters. It is called The Intouchables. less
