So, let me quote you : "I wish people who had a positive opinion used the Internet to voice their opinion as well. Unfortunately, most blogs are maintained that individuals who have no life, and as a result, there are tons of negative, hateful opinions floating around." Maybe you don't have a Blog but you seem pretty good at negativity !!! http://www.amazon.fr/product-reviews/B001RTP3Z0 - "La realisation de cette video est de type amateur. Mauvais montage ; image digitale a bas budget ; etc." Pretty surprising... Hey Virginie, pretty funny, but i found a comment you’ve done on Amazon.fr.

I don't myself ! You were the first one to write a raving comment on Amazon.com. Please, don't talk to me about hatred while in this comment, you mention M. Hervé Baquedano as someone who is "assassinating the book". Also I don't really see what this sentence means "a pinch of “alpha male vs. alpha male”-type jealousy going on here" What are you talking about ?! I'm just giving my point of view, If you do not agree, internet is an ocean... Virginie do you have any connection with the author of this book ?!

I thought that was very interesting. Perhaps someone who actually knows the French language would have been better positioned to criticize the work that so many French people have been praising, don't you think? Ignorance is never a constructive approach. What I thought was interesting also is the fact that you have such a vivid hatred for the person who went and put this book together? As a female, I can tell that there's a pinch of "alpha male vs. alpha male"-type jealousy going on here, isn't there? In any event, I wish people who had a positive opinion used the Internet to voice their opinion as well. Unfortunately, most blogs are maintained that individuals who have no life, and as a result, there are tons of negative, hateful opinions floating around. Perhaps it's attributable to the overall "depression" environment we have been lately. Anyway, thanks for letting me voice my opinion. I appreciate it.

I'm expressing myself about something, I wish could have been enthusiastic about. Second, I don't think we are going anywhere, I'm not a translator/writer, myself. I read a few books with lyrics on one side and translations on the other, and all I can tell you, is how sorry I feel when i read this book. It's just miles away from Martin's Gore approach. One of my friends is a professional translator, she doesn't know much about Depeche Mode, but she noticed, the work done wasn't done by someone who has writing skills. Of Course, we can argue about a word or two, translations, etc. But the most important thing, at least, to me, is the feeling the lyrics give you, and it's just not there. Maybe someone who's work is to write (translate) would have been more appropriate. At least, I see one good reason about this post: We disagree (which is healthy, I heard) Virginie,

With all due respect, I do not believe your French is proficient... "S'intéresser à quelqu'un" does not mean "to be interested in somebody"... "Promenade" doesn't mean "a walk"... Also, given the number of articles in the media right now where M.L. Gore endorses the book wholeheartedly, I wonder why you think it is possible that Gore is not aware of its existence... Gore, as opposed to yourself, speaks decent French... In any event, I just do not think it is physically possible for anybody to release his songs without his explicit approval... I think you as an individual probably have issues that have nothing to do with this book... You just are releasing your anger, and it is not helpful to Internet surfers... I purchased this book as well, and I was blown away by its quality... Where are you from? What gives you the impression you are qualified to analyze French? (consternation).
