That novel I like very much! A little nonsense, Immortals that are just
people like you and me, just with a longer life that doesn't make them
wisemen, a funny world to read (but maybe not to live :) ). The French
translation is not bad: it keeps all the examples of Spanglish as they
are, that's to say very funny :) .
