Kiffe kiffe demain (Le Livre de Poche)

This is a really good novel as it conveys a lot of information in an interesting way (with lots of humour). It is ideal for young learners of French as AS/A level students can easily identify with the fictional author, Doria. She like them is a teenager facing many of the same situations and challenges people of her age face growing up in any country. Another specific set of issues facing her is that of having a mixed cultural background. Her family roots are in Morocco but she is very much French. The language isn't too difficult (although you will need a dictionary) and it is very funny. A superb read.

Great for modern slang French eg: Verlan, life and times of nobody doing nothing really, which was probably the point?

Funny, clever, accessible if you're not a French native speaker. A true voice. So interesting to read if you are also familiar with the film La Haine, which is also set in the banlieus of Paris.

Mildly interesting. Simplistic writing, not really engaging.

I bought it for a French class and it was perfectttt!!

Great book about a modern, second-generation French Morrocan teenager. Excellent humour and insight into the everyday life and concerns of a 15 year old, living with her mum in a Paris HLM suburb. Great for catching up with modern slang and language. Happy ending really helps.

I bought tthis book as I need it for an oral exam I am conducting. I quite enjoyed reading it and Faiza Guene is a new author for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is quite an easy book to read in original version and is a good introduction to reading longer novels.
