Review title: Idea of book: Good. Translation: Sloppy and crude
Product review: The translation of the book is done very poorly. There are sentences that don't make sense in the English language that may in French. Or, I'm guessing, they are errors in the translation. There are the use of French terms with slips into American colloquialisms. E.g., calling a psychiatrist an "analyst" in one sentence, then a "shrink" in another.I think the basic idea of the book came across, but the translation was terrible. It was awkward and jumpy, which really detracted from the storyline. I'm going to buy the French version of the book and put it through the babelfish translator and I'm sure I'll understand this story more than the current translation.
