It was written just before the Revolution in France, and documents the evil schemes of its two anti-heroes. It is both twistedly funny (one has to love the anti-heroes' wit and effervescence, despite hating what they do) and tragic; a brave insight into humans, without ever lagging. I would never go without the book when moving.
Rofl, I thought you were going to say "Dangerous Lions."
...Yeah. My French isn't that great. I can count to 10, though...
Anyway, that sounds like a good book. One of my favorites is Uglies by...I have no idea.
