I'll have to be the wet blanket. I struggled to get through this book. About halfway through, I thought "life is too short to make myself read a book I don't like," so I gave up. I didn't find anything interesting or useful. Nothing much happens. There's quite a bit of philosophical wondering. There's really no plot as such. I tried to like the story because it has such good reviews, but it wasn't for me. If you are interested in a story about modern Parisian life where nothing much happens, this is for you.
