Oh my god, this was awful. National bestseller in France. Translated in more than 20 countries. Called 'the book of the decade'. Is this (together with The book thief, 50 shades and Dan Brown) the most overrated book ever? If you focus in your novel on being interesting...be interesting! Thoughts that lead nowhere, half-baked philosophy and pseudo-science in an unappealing, predictable story. Bah
