Summary: C'est simplement incroyable
Review: By far the best book I have ever read.. I was also wondering if it has been published in English.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Movie
Review: I am reading this in French class. it is ok although not great. the inconsistancies are sort of confusing but the theme is good. i like the satire in it. we are looking for a copy of the movie for VHS so if anyone knows where we could buy this to watch in class, with or without captions, that would be great. email me at moonshadow@pwshift.com if u know. thanks

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this book
Review: I was amazed by this book, I don't care too much for most existentialist fiction, but I was riveted by this novel. As I read, I became engrossed by the characters, and was on the edge of my seat waiting for what would happen to them. The message that one must commit to love and not let outside influences impede it, is a message we here far too infrequently. Instead of a story where one must die for love, we get a story where to live, one must love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A riveting tale from start to finish
Review: It makes me laugh, all of the different translations of the title. A direct translation is "The Games are Done." I read this novel this year as a sophomore in French 4. My teacher, who majored in French literature, analyzed this novel with us, and each of her students came away with a better understanding of the book. Personally, I loved it. It made you think, but it wasn't so obviously philosophizing that it would turn off someone my age. Sartre's philosophies were woven into the story, and you come away with a feeling of enhanced "smartness." :o) Also, if you ever want to impress a Frenchman with what you've read, just say, "J'ai lu Les Jeux Sont Faits." I'd recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Sartre at his best
Review: My French teacher had our class read this book in the eleventhgrade.It was the first book by Sartre I read and I was fascinated by Sartre, existentialism, and other great existentialist writers, Camus in particular. It has been a long time since that hign school classroom, so the details of the story are fuzzy in my mind. However, an 18 year search for a copy of this book will end the day it arrives in my mail box. Thank you, Amazon! Et merci beaucoup, M. Sartre!!

Summary: C'est magnifique!
Review: This has been my favorite book since I first read it, more than 5 years ago, and it still has a place of honor on my bedside table. Sartre's tale of Pierre and Eve is simply riveting. This is one of the most thought-provoking books I've read - and you don't need to know a lot about literature to enjoy it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Need Help!
Review: This is my all-time favorite book and was wondering if anyone has ever seen it translated in English. If you know of such a copy please contact me at exechead@aol.com/ Thanks.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A masterful work.
Review: This masterful work explores the meaning of life after death and finds it to be absourd. Is there purpose in life in the first place? What are any of us doing here? Is our life on earth vain preperations for the life to come? this book explores all these questions and more. Sartre eloquently weaves these questions into a cohesive tale as seen in the after-life journeys of Pierre and Eve.
