Product Description
From Amazon
Benjamin Malaussène a un drôle de métier : bouc émissaire au service réclamations d'un grand magasin parisien où il est chargé d'apitoyer les clients grincheux. Une bombe, puis deux, explosent dans le magasin. Benjamin est le suspect numéro un de cette vague d'attentats aveugles. Attentats ? Aveugles ? Et s'il n'y avait que ça ! Quand on est l'aîné, il faut aussi survivre aux tribulations de sa tumultueuse famille : la douce Clara qui photographie comme elle respire, Thérèse l'extralucide, Louna l'amoureuse, Jérémy le curieux, le Petit rêveur, la maman et ses amants... Le tout sous les yeux de Julius, le chien épileptique, et de Tante Julia, journaliste volcanique. Quel cirque !
Avec ce premier tome des aventures de Malaussène, on plonge avec bonheur dans un univers baroque. Pennac multiplie les personnages secondaires, les digressions. Ça grouille comme dans une fourmilière. Le rire n'est jamais loin des larmes, le sordide côtoie le sublime. --Bruno Ménard --This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.

Great style, great suspense, wonderful characters.,
This review is from: AU BONHEUR DES OGRES (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first of four books, all built around Benjamin Malaussene, a man whose job is to be blamed for everything that goes wrong at work. Every time a client complaints, the staff somehow blames it on him: he is known to his coworkers as a professional scapegoat.However, when the store he works at is the host of a bomb, then another, people start to point fingers, and this novel develops around this plot made of bombs and scapegoating. This novel is worth everyone's full attention: the characters are very believable, and the way they relate to each other is nothing short of sublime. Also, Pennac's frequent use of sarcasm and bitter wit adds to the punch of the novel, where it comes to a point where, even though you want to know how it ends (just like every good police intrigue novel), you can't get enough of the dialogues and discussions. Open this book and sit back, because this book is like no other whodunnit novel. (In fact, it's almost insulting to call it that.)
