Word of caution, you will find no joy in these pages.
I knew nothing about this author and had no idea how explicit this book was. I could have read on but it felt as if it COULD be a book that had the potential to disturb me. Not a risk I wanted to take.
Meu primeiro contato com o Houellebecq e já estou decidida a ler todos os livros que esse cara escreveu e foram traduzidos pro português. Foi a melhor maneira de encerrar o ano e estou tão impressionada com o que li que o único comentário possível é: PUTA MERDA

I actually don't mind spending time with repugnant men in fiction, especially when it's done well and has a larger point, like in this novel. Perfect for anyone in the mood for subversive, bleak, and cynical French literature.
I'm glad I pushed through the initial third of this book. Putting aside the provocation, the questionable thoughts and remarks, the violence and the sex, there's a lot of depth and even political analysis in this book.
Hay demasiado que marcar en este libro. Serotonina te hace volver y releer y ponerte a pensar en lo brillante que es Houllebecq. A través de su cinismo y humor ácido se pasea por grandes tópicos de discusión que sin duda ofenderán a los que no entienden su afán de la reflexión a través de la provocación. Sin duda, la mejor obra del franchute
