Minor: Murder and Death
xoubie's review against another edition
Didn't like the main character, and I would be stuck with him for the whole book. Also was in the process of choosing my book for my A-level French course and picked 'A bag of marbles' over this one.
Je n'aime pas le personnage principal et j'irais avec lui pour le roman complet. En plus, j'ai été choisir le livre pour mon examen français (je suis anglaise) et j'ai choisi « Un Sac de Billes » plutôt que ce roman.

A naked view of how biases rule the world from a man who adds nothing extra of his own to what he experiences, who is condemned to death just because his actions didn't qualify as normal, who is intolerant of any comforting religious privileged nonsense and accepts that life has no greater meaning.
Minor: Murder, Religious bigotry, Gun violence, and Death
