Non credo sia un romanzo per tutti, i troppo sensibili se ne tengano lontani, mentre perfetto per chi ha uno humour un po' dark. Eviterei anche chi è polemico nei confronti di eutanasia e tematiche così importanti, vi fareste solo del male.
L'ho trovato un romanzo molto delicato e irriverente al tempo stesso, un viaggio nella personalità e nelle relazioni inter personali di un gruppo di persone che hanno deciso di morire e si ritrovano tutti insieme, in un ambiente colto e elegante, per passare gli ultimi giorni di vita. C'è tanta bellezza, tanta delicatezza, tanta ironia. E nessun giudizio, solo rispetto delle decisioni altrui rispetto a se stessi.

*****************************************************************************
Exit, definitely the right name, is a very exclusive clinic for people who want to end their life. The rules are clear and explicit when the contract is signed: no depressed people, no murders, everyone can choose the way to leave, as long as they do it within the time of the expiration of the contract. Free to leave in case of change of mind.
I don't think it's a novel for everyone, those who are too sensitive keep away from it, while perfect for those with a little dark humour. I would also avoid those who are polemical about euthanasia and such important issues, you would only hurm yourself.
I found it a very delicate and irreverent novel, a journey into the personalities and interpersonal relationships of a group of people who have decided to die and are all together in a cultured and elegant environment, to spend the last days of life. There is so much beauty, so much sensitivity, so much irony. And no judgment, only respect for others' decisions about themselves.
