The idea of the story is good, but the writing style is driving me crazy. It's like the book was written by a child. Maybe it's just a horrible translation, considering that I read the book in German and the Original language is french, though it's difficult to imagine that even a bad translator is that bad. It was impossible for me to have sympathy with any of the characters.
I only finished the book, because it is a short book with only 150 pages.
