Un livre écrit à la va-vite, bourré d'idées géniales et de phrases stupides. Je vais en rester là, merci.

In this hilarious and often wacky Gothic western, you never know WHY things are—they just are. Brautigan draws a colorful and strange adventure that feels unique on every page. Wonderful little book.

This is your usual Ian McEwan book: a hard, cold look at a regular human being, slowly crushed by guilt. The Children Act is told just like McEwan's other books: clinically. If you like his style, you might be a bit surprised by the rather slow beginning, but it picks up after a while and holds you for the rest of the book.

Some might find this book enlightening. Most will be a bit confused by the short advice backed with zero evidence apart from a couple of well-selected quotes. It's not bad and I'm certainly not the target, but this book mixes all kinds of writing, giving wrong ideas about what is WRITING.

I am a fervent believer in the toolbox way of learning instead of this long list of well-meaning, very stale tips.

Cet essai, qui mêle archives historiques, fiction, et point de vue de l'auteur est un bien bel objet, curieux et nuancé, sur l'affaire de Furcy et sur l'esclavage à la Réunion, mon île de naissance.
