Review of 'Le dernier restaurant avant la fin du monde' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Si vous avez un priori ou faites un rejet de l’humour anglais, passez votre chemin. Fan de l’absurde ou des Monty Python, ce livre est définitivement pour vous. Situations rocambolesques, surréalistes, personnages improbables, univers encore moins possibles, histoire à peine présente, l’ensemble se lit le sourire aux lèvres d’un bout à l’autre, avec quelques soubresauts de rires francs et sonores. Je viens de terminer la lecture mais je serais difficilement capable de raconter l’histoire, loufoque et délirante. Pas transcendant, mais un bon moment de rigolade.
