This book is not for everyone, It was translated from French, and the main characters are very intelligent people, who love art and philosophy. I found Renee more enjoyable than our suicidal little snot who plans to burn down her apartment, and then kill herself with sleeping pills. She is unhappy cause life doesnt turn out happy for anyone, "you reach for the stars and end up in a gold fish" and everyone lies to their kids and doesnt tell them that life is Absurd. I liked Renee much more. But I didnt like either enough to wait for our Japanese character to come help them find themselves. I quit reading. I dont care if she burns down her house, or dies.
If you are smart and fully understand Marx, Decartes, Kant and a myriad of other French artists, or philosophers you might love it and find some redeeming moral life lesson. I learned life is too short to read books that dont impress me.
