i tend to avoid french books but it was recommended by a friend. beautifully written and an unexpected and tragic ending. it was my first contemporary play but it was a very good one.

that was the worst book i have ever read in its entirety. the execution was so poor it was physically painful to read through it all. none of the characters were likeable what goes thru their dumb brain

whoever compared this to mulan and tsoa had shit for eyes i don't know what else to say
