Unique - One of a kind book.
I couldn't put it down. It is both a funny and a sad little book at the same time. It's well worth the cost and time to read. I have no doubts that there are people out there who would do as this fellow did if they could. A great quick read! It will make a wonderful movie.

This review is from: Happy Days (Paperback)
Reading the publishers description of "Happy Days," it seemed that this short novel would be fantastic: Dark, yet funny. It is the story of Antoine, a man who purchases his own gravesite at the age of eighteen, and voluntarily moves into the Happy Days retirement home at thirty-five--effectively playing hooky from life.Problem is, the story never goes anywhere. It is filled with fatuous plot twists that are less than interesting, and it is rather hard to care what happens to any of the characters. Maybe something was lost in the translation, but even if I could read French, I cannot say I'd take the time to re-read it in its original language.
