Lionel Asbo, l''état de l'Angleterre de Martin Amis

This book reminds me "testament à l'anglaise' from Jonathan Coe.

It's the story of a young man who lives in the suburb of London. It's a hard place to live. The violence is omnipresent and the moral rules are different from the ones we are use to have. We have the feeling that this book is in a parallel world, like an alternate History.

It's a strange story where you have a feeling of awkwardness, and fear. You never know wath can happen, maybe the worst. 

I like very much this book. It's smart, well written.
