anim0rphs's review against another edition
4.0
Read this with my book club! It really helped to discuss. We're thinking that the girls, Dirty, Lazare, Xenie are potentially metaphors. Dirty being facism/chaos/death (which our Henri is so obsessed with), Lazare being the middle class left with a savior complex, and Xenie being the stable family-oriented ideal. Very interesting book when you dig into the details and I'm glad I had people to talk with while reading. I don't think I would've gotten nearly so much out of the book without my book club.
