By the way, I finally got clear in my head what is most certainly the worst book I ever read, even worst than the DaVinci Code.
It is Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeeg.
It starts so well, building subtle images and evocating elusive atmospheres in an intimate minimalistic key to become a James Bond/Superman adventure just in the turning of a page. Dreadfull. A terrible put down.
It was a big hit and even won a prize.
