Title: Not profound, not a thriller, probably not worth your time.
Product review: No matter what the publishers' reviews says, this book is not profound, it is not a thriller, and it is probably not worth your time.Laurence Cosse has written a little book that makes fun of the Frensh establishment. That's all. It happens to mention "God" and therefore publishers feel obliged to say that it is "profound". It isn't. It is simply a litterary mechanism for getting to the French ecclesiatical establishment.And it is not a "thriller". There is hardly even any story there. It moves from one little (usually 1, 1 1/2, or 2 pages) sketch to another, with only the weakest of excuses to bind them together. The individual scenes can be quite funny - especially if you have some previous knowledge and expereince of French culture and governance - but a collection of individual scenes does not make a story.Find something more rewarding to read.
