"No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path". In memoriam, Bogdan Teodorescu

Critics have called it "a seductive novel [...] thrilling action, suspense, strong characters, irony and an unexpected ending" (Horia Gârbea - Luceafărul), a book "annoyingly well written [...] an exciting sociological lesson" (Emil Lungeanu - Luceafărul), "a very good and captivating novel" (Victor Cubleșan - Steaua), "sparkling [...] the chronicles of the period transposed into fiction by Bogdan Teodorescu are now interwoven with the fragility of the concept of family" (Marius Miheț - România literară). The novel "seems to be made of two novels. The first intimate, polyphonic, feminine, the second, which appears to the reader only at the end, caustic, ruthless, cynical" (Nicoleta Sălcudeanu - Contemporanul), with apparently familiar scenes that lead the reader to a sharp climax: "the radiography is merciless, but also blurred, so as not to get bogged down in a single explanation/interpretation ["...] The radiography is of Romanian society in the third millennium, but it is also of our world charmed by the 'quality of noise' propagated by all means of socialization" (Irina Petraș - Apostrof).

It's not the only novel of his that has been translated into other languages and has enjoyed success in other book markets. The Sword, for example, has been described in France as "funny, noir, instructive, edgy, like a beautiful comedy", "fascinating", "an explosive cocktail", "an incredibly well polished kaleidoscopic construction", and Le Monde called it "a gripping political-media thriller".
