September of Books

 Mid-September is also the time for the literary re-entry.

May this be part of the French Cultural Exception? I'm not sure.

A few hundreds books come in the bookstores at the same time of the year, and that's now. So I'v read one.

Okay, I have to admit this is a 3 years old book. It was lost on a table at my parents home (my sister likes this kind of litterature).

I don't.

I have to say that the title was also attractive to me, a souvenir of a not too old trip in the US.

There is on very good point on this kind of book. It's 561 pages but the 11 firsts are dedicated to the presentations of the title, the author, the editor. The rest is written quite big with like 20 lines of 8 words a page.

For real:

Yep.

But the story was not my taste. The Willing Suspension of Disbelief doesn't work when too much details keep me out from the author's fantasm like he was a superheros in a thriller movie. 

For example one of the main characters is a policeman and he went with his wife and his daughter (who is too old to benefit the young child pay-off) travelling all over the world every year. He has an artistic culture I can't believe for a policeman. A lot about jazz music so of course that calls Boris Vian's ghost who wrote a lot of books quoting jazz references because he was in love with this music. He was writing this easily, light and sometimes funny.

In this book I found this heavy, permanent and too much.

Mainly the characters are unable to take a logical decision. Well I can understand that what you would call a novel, if they are logical there is no drama.

The same policeman is in the east of France one night and in NYC the newt morning. Is it even possible to have your passport - visa - plane ticket in such a few time?

 

In resume I don't really enjoy this kind of book.

That's like a Tarantino's movie, at the end I need to see again a good movie from the genre he decided to "swede". Frison-Roche, Umberto Eco, Maxime Gorki. I don't like this idea because I don't read a lot of fiction so I'ld prefer to discover a new one rather than re-reading one I know.

My dad let me another book to read so this will be my first choice for the end of this month.
