Karin,
Welcome to the club. I myself disliked this
Grang頴hriller having too many convolutions and unnecessary
voyeurism attached to it. I never quite understood why this
book received such an acclaim in France.
Further warning: stay away from the *film*... even worst. At
a certain moment the whole thing hits a black hole and it is
as if the film maker did not understand the main intrigue
anymore, plus everything is traded in for more and more
unnecessary "special effects". I saw it twice, and I'm not
the source of misunderstanding, believe me! I do not know if
the DVD (as it did in the French edition- so maybe in Canada
is it he same DVD??) in the US still carries the bonus with
an interview combining declarations of the film maker, the
producer and ... Grang鮠These three after 20 min of babbling
were unable to explain what was going on in the film
concerning its main story. A piece of anthology... of inanity
and unplanned humor.

> This book by Jean-Christophe Grang頨as been published
in English as Blood-Red Rivers (trans. Ian Monk), The
Blood-Red Rivers, and The Crimson Rivers, as far as I can
tell. Whether they're all the same translation, I don't know.
A movie was made starring Jean Reno, Vincent Cassel and Nadia
Fares, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz.

> I won't tell you any more. The killings and
mutilations are gruesome, the "stagings" extremely
complicated and farfetched, and the story behind the motive
likewise farfetched. In other words, I didn't really like it.
Too bad, because I would have liked to see more of Abdouf at
work.
