Ouais ouais... Ça va.
Le début du roman est mené par différents personnages qui n'ont rien en commun mais qui finissent par se croiser afin de jouer un rôle déterminant dans cette aventure.
L'idée est prometteuse : un Monde Idéal dans une société scénarisée de toutes parts.
J'ai eu du mal à accrocher puis j'ai été entraînée jusqu'à la fin qui malgré tout ne m'a pas transcendée.
