Review: Zazie in the Metro

Zazie in the Metro by Raymond Queneau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was going to give up on this at first, since it seemed like the translation was pretty bad, then I realized what was going on and that actually it was quite good and the translator's job must've been a huge undertaking, then I was going to give up on it once more because I wanted to read it in the original French. In the end I stuck with it. It was strange but definitely kept me interested. The Paris it portrays is oddly captivating. I still want to read it in the original at some point. 4.5 stars, and I'll give it time to see if I want to round it up or down.
