review 1: A somewhat strange book, that required a little bit of willingness to continue reading in the beginning for me. But it turned out to be pretty good. The story is original, the characters are good. The protagonist's feelings are described in such a way, that you start to understand him very well. The story is fantastic and stays quite puzzling and sometimes even vague, but it has a very realistic side too, so it doesn't get too weird.
review 2: Just finished... not my usual, much more post modern, but totally loved it! Originally written in French, and based in Quebec, which also pleases me personally. Throw in some bizarre Japanese stuff and I'm hooked! (nail clipper vending machines?!) Thought provoking and personal. Written from a point of view a decade or so... more behind us, gives an interesting point of view, hinting forwards at things we already know will happen, like 9/11. My only regret was the damn open ended ending. I need closure, people! less
