_camd_ 's review for:

La plus secrète mémoire des hommes by Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
4.5
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The only dissapointing this in the book is the conclusion of the main slow burn, a little frustrating knowing that it's been teased for 500 pages.

The writing is mindblowing. It's a perfectly written masterpiece, it is so clever. The language registers shift so smoothly, every charachter has its own way of expressing himself/herself which is so hard to achieve as an author. 

We get to discover many topics, charachters and even countries cause they travel which is great. I truly appreciated the complexity of charachters and the depth of the topics. Definitely worth reading this chunky book. Is it so contradictory and absurd in the literal sense that it got prized and well deserved!

Very odd to have a sexual passage in such early part of the novel.
