Boring! Too much description of metro stations. Mostly dull characters + unrealistic premise, I honestly didn't see the point of this book.

I wasn't sure what to make of this one.
It would have been useful to have a map of Paris, showing Metro lines and stations, because it is more about the city than about people. The people flit in and out of the city and have casual encounters but never seem to meet. The two main characters live in the same flat, and have encounters with other characters (living and dead), but never discuss these encounters with each other. And most other other characters seem to flit in and out of the story, and we never know them except through they eyes of others. But perhaps that's urban life in the 21st century -- people come and go, but the city continues its own life.
