Slow and steady wins

This is a fantastic story - what an incredible premise!
The only criticism is it is VERY slow moving. Seems to have so many insignificant details. But, if you stick with it - bare in mind this book has been translated from French to English - the twist at the end is so worth it!
Highly recommend.

Bizarre

Well narrated, but the story was absolutely bizarre. I wanted to care about the characters but they were all so unlikeable and the character motivations were difficult to relate to.
