Zedenschets van de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw aan de hand van de levensgeschiedenis van twee halfbroers, de één een vergeestelijkt wetenschapper, de ander een jachtige erotomaan.
Bien-sûr mon opinion de l'auteur m'amène à malmener son livre mais lors de ma lecture je ne connaissais pas vraiment Houellebecq et le livre m'a laissé une impression poisseuse, humide et un je ne sais quoi de malodorant
I am incredibly torn, I truly loved the ending of this book so much and the way in which Houellebecq writes feels so honest and raw and I love it. Despite that there were definitely some aspects of the book that felt somewhat dragged out. I did adore the commentary on religion though.
it's so sad to read a book like this. A book where the author hates everything and everybody. The only way that he found to fix everything is to create a new specie. I haven't enjoyed anything of this book. I only managed to finish it because I'm on holidays.
