The Incipit
The day I died was not funny at all. And not just because of my death. To be precise, in fact, the event just captured sixth place in the ranking of the most unpleasant of which ones day. On the fifth came the moment when Lilly asked me with sleepy eyes: why do not you stay home today, mom? It 's my birthday! The first answer that went through my head was, if I'd known five years ago that your birthday and the award of television would fallen on the same day, I made sure to make you come first. Caesarean!
What do you think of this novel and I had heard a lot in very positive terms, but honestly I did not find as much fun as I hoped. The main character Kim Lange is a successful TV presenter, but neglects the family. After the assignment of a lifetime achievement award dies in an accident absurd (the head falls into a piece of Russian space shuttle) and is reincarnated in an ant to atone for its many faults (neglecting his daughter, betrayed her husband, for elbowing to kill a colleague and rival many other peccadilloes). Must produce a quantity unspecified positive karma in order to regain the semblance of a human being and finally to be reunited with her husband and daughter, then ant after being reborn as a guinea pig, calf, earthworm, beagle, and finally enters the body a woman named Mary, obese and sick of heart. Kim in the body of Mary will work to get closer to what was once his family, will become the baby sitter's daughter, Lilly, and will try in every way to remove Alex from the husband's new wife Nina. The story seems to convey a positive message (to deal with what is truly important in life, affections, before it is too later), but the protagonist is just too obnoxious, snooty, selfish and inconsistent, even when it produces the so-called "good karma" doing good deeds for it gives the impression of a second end that has made me even more unpleasant . There are very nice ideas (for example, the introduction of the character of Giacomo Casanova), who unfortunately were not enough to make me love this novel, despite the reading has been quite smooth. David Safier The author is the writer of the famous German Lolle TV series aired on MTV a few years ago. The final vote is a ni, a reading light-hearted, pleasant overall, but nothing more.
