Query: Strange but interesting

I bought this book solely due to its reputation, having no opinion or previous experience with the writer. It is a book that I am glad I read but it is unusual due to subject matter. His writing style is also a little strange, it is written as if the character is writing the book himself and he sometimes refers to himself in the third party. Quite humerously at times. A working knowledge of French (which i do not have) would have helped the book flow a little better but it was not essential. The second half was a bit slow and did not grab my attention as much as the first half. Worth reading
