lethargic_man raves about it.
How it came into my hands:lethargic_man gave it to me for my birthday. In fact, he gave it to me twice: he gave me an English edition for my 24th, and I was an ungrateful wench and said 'That's very nice, but you know I'm too much of a snob to read French novels in translation'. So he gave me a French edition for my 25th; what a patient and generous boyfriend I have!
( detailed review )
Anyway, yeah, that was a bit of a marathon, but enjoyable all the same!
