Honnêtement ? Je n'ai pas pu le finir. Il n'est pas forcément mal écrit, mais les clichés sue le Japon s'enfilent les uns après les autres au point de rendre la lecture difficile puis impossible. Oui, l'auteur a passé un peu de temps au Japon, et il veut nous le montrer. Et il dessert son récit par la même occasion. Oh well...
Reviews and Comments
