Oryx und Crake.

que dire de Oryx And Crake sans d voiler l intrigue Les mots manquent tant le roman est plein de subtilit , de tendresse et de r alisme.Parfois insoutenable car l histoire est d une noirceur terrifique, parfois vous tirer les larmes des yeuxFinalement, un roman apocalyptique qui, on le redoute tous, risque bel et bien d arriver

Le livre tait vendu comme en bon tat mais il est arriv avec plein d criture, soulignements, etc en encre noir, certains chapitres sont quasiment illisible Vendeur d conseill.The book was sold as being in good condition but it arrived full of underlining and writing, some chapters are almost unreadable as every word is circled or marked through Disappointed in the quality for the price, I do not recommend this seller.
