Jeg kan ikke klare sproget, personerne er ligegyldige og handlingen er flad.

I need some time to give this book a number rating. C’est clairement le livre le plus trash que j’ai lu. Les descriptions sont droites au but, réelles au point d’être exagérées. Presque tous les personnages sont détestables mais attachants comme Virginie Despentes sait si bien faire. Le titre est provocateur mais le contenu l’est plus. Rapide, efficace et surtout choquant par sa brutalité.

3.0

La verdad es que me ha decepcionado un poco, me esperaba algo mucho más profundo. No está mal, pero me parece que apenas tiene profundidad, que cuenta lo que cuenta con frivolidad pero sin llegar a ninguna parte. Además, no sé si será la traducción o qué, pero el lenguaje me ha parecido muy simple. Las dos protagonistas son igual de egocéntricas y a veces es difícil distinguir quién es quién. Además, el libro me ha recordado muchas veces a 'Thelma & Louise", salvando las distancias, así que no sé, me ha costado meterme. Es cierto que sí, que entiendo por qué fue prohibido en Francia por según qué escenas, pero la verdad es que cuando lo compré me fascinó su argumento y, sin embargo, no ha terminado de ser lo que esperaba.
