Ok, this one is really weird. While the fact that Pierre-Anthon decided to sat in a tree and yell that life has no meaning, which reminded me of The Baron in the trees, I must say that I wasn't prepared at all to this. This novel goes darker and darker at every page, leading to several wicked parts.
Some parts of the book are really interesting, the way Pierre-Anthon thinks for example, which takes a great part from the nihilism. His words and decisions will leads his friends to go in a search for the meaning of life, to try to convince Pierre-Anthon that the life has a deep meaning and that our existences are useful. The way the novel is built is interesting, has it forces you to face questions about your own life, but it goes well too far.
In the end I wasn't really convinced by this book, and must say I'm mostly shocked by it, without seeing a deeper interest.
