Did anyone notice my ref? The book ends where it began, just after "Live Aid". Bob doesn't discuss what happens after that. The title of the book "Is That It?" refers to a kid in Philadelphia who asked that very question at the end of the US Live Aid concert...."
François Begon (asker) Jan 31, 2012:
Le contexte de "is that it?" Il s'agit d'un jeune autiste qui demande "is that?", sans que l'on sache s'il veut dire : a) "is that it? ou b) "what is that?".
Emiliano Pantoja Jan 31, 2012:
Voilà tout?
Germaine Jan 30, 2012:
Selon qui parle... et le contexte, ce pourrait aussi être "Ce sera tout?" et ça n'aurait pas la même résonnance...
kashew Jan 30, 2012:
François, What's YOUR context - anything to do with BG?

(et) c'est tout?

This is very subjective, but I think that hits is. Or you could go with "et ... ?"
Peer comment(s):

agree Yvonne Gallagher : yes, I like the "et". He was basically saying "is that all that's to it?"

Reference:

A review of the book:

"... It's quite a long book with 443 pages and Bob often rambles, I think. Also, as the title of this review suggests, it's full of sexual encounters and swearing. There's also a bit of Irish stereotyping and many rants against Catholicism. Do not read if easily offended!

The book ends where it began, just after "Live Aid". Bob doesn't discuss what happens after that. The title of the book "Is That It?" refers to a kid in Philadelphia who asked that very question at the end of the US Live Aid concert...."
