Summary: What else to expect from genious?
Comment: A story that confronts us with most of human vices, and the vicious way we deal with other people and with our own fears. Amazing, as I think all Boris Vian's books are, with that little sparkle of fantasy that take us to a parallel world.

Rating: 5
Summary: This story will not leave you untouched.
Comment: The characters lack human traits like compassion and love, and try to fill this gap in their personality, each in their own curel and detached way. The language by which Boris Vian describes this search is affectionate and intense. His parabels and stile of writing are at the same time stumbleingly awkward and grotesquely funny. No book has ever touched and disgusted me more than this one.

This book has been printed in the English translation (by John Sturrock) as "Heartsnatcher", by Quartet Books.

Summary: An unreal surreal, real intelligent portrait of human nature
Comment: Boris Vian presents us one of his very best books, which relates a surreal portrait of feelings such as care, love, disappointment and nostalgia.
