J'avais écouté la série télé inspiré de ce roman (Haven) il y a déjà un bon bout de temps, mais j'ai été bien heureux de retrouver Vince et Dave dans ce court roman de Stephen King. La série et le livre sont très très différent, c'est vraiment plus une inspiration qu'autre chose. Ceci étant dit, le livre en soit est intéressant et nous plonge au coeur de la découverte mystérieuse du cadavre d'un inconnu. Le livre apporte peu de solution, ce n'est pas vraiment une enquête ou un policier classique, il s'agit plus de l'exploration des possibles et au final un bilan triste mais trop souvent réel, certains crimes demeurent inexpliqués. La beauté de l'écriture, les personnages et le charme de ses petites villes du Maine qu'on y retrovue et que j'adore ont été les raisons qui ont fait que j'ai passé un bon moment de lecture.

2,5/5. A comic book that mixed up demons, gangsters and a touch of humor. Reminded me of John Constantine a bit, but unfortunately it's not as good. The illustration are wonderful and perfectly my style so it was a good point for me. This book lost me with is story, a little too simple, too clichés, so I lost interest quite fast. Not a bad one, just not original enough in my opinion to get out of the mass!

This book aboard the writing process almost as a spiritual thing. So it's not for someone who want to write a novel or anything, it's more about writing thoughts and writing to get your head clean off. That being said, if you're in that kind of thing (I'm not), this book is very well done, organized and short so it gives you a very synthesize view of the subjects and then you can continue to search on the subject if you're interested. Probably more for beginner in the mindful writing or for the people who are curious and want to see what it's about. Not for me, but a decent enough book!

An illustrated book, comic book like, that try to explain what anxiety is about. Not great but could be and interesting way to approach anxiety with teenagers, not kids, because even if it's a graphic book, it contains explanations maybe a little bit too complex for kids, but for teenagers who have anxiety to help them understand how they feel and to see that they're not alone, it could be a helpful book.

I really don't understand all the good critics on Goodreads about that books! The story is just so unrealistic, an old man go on a trip (kidnap) a teenage boy and everybody find it cute because they watch bird together??? And more to it, the characters are flat, no emotions pass through them. Last point, the Alzheimer is really accessory there and is, like the rest, not realistic at all, if you want a good book about the disease read Still Alice, doesn't get better and well done than that one. For this book, just don't waste your time.

Bottom line, if found out this year was really a bad year for public critics sites (Goodreads, Rotten tomatoes, IMDB, and many others). People are so hip or down about something that we get extreme opinion that just are not true and doesn't mean anything. As for Goodreads in particular, I have read a couple of books, that when you read the review, you just have to ask yourself if people are paid to make good review as a marketing action, ore if it's the friend or family of the author that try to create a hip too it. I even read a book where the author review her whom book and gave it five stars. Confidence is good but still... Or review of book with more then 1 000 ratings for a book that is not even finish writing by the author. This is a really sad thing because that give away the credibility of those sites and you just can't really look at the rating to choose a new book and if it worth it or not. It's just my opinion but I feel like sharing it to you in the last days of 2017.

Finally I wish a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all those who follow my review. Take care, take time for friend and family are remember the true thing that matter the most in you life and take time for them in 2018!!

Too much personal stuff and no action at all, in the last one the bonding was good, but it also was enough, just go back to more action, villains, and Batman stuff. Because in that one, it's just Batman/Superman Catwoman/Lois hanging out in a carnival... so...

Really good!! The presence of Superson in the title had me worried but it's was great. Ton of action, interesting villain and storyline, I hadn't follow Superman for a couple of weeks, because I was tired of it and now I said to myself let's see where it's now and a good issue for me to fall back in. Let's hope it will keep in line!

Good action but the story is definitely slow and we saw it come from a mile away so no surprise here at all.

Not funny and stupid, The tittle really is a catch-up because it's a good title, but it's the only good thing in the book. It's full of stupid sentences, nonsense, who everybody can't write with putting two stupid things with no relations in the same sentence. I like absurd humor but this isn't it. Don't waste time!

Très bien encore une fois. Le style général de cette série, plus au niveau du schéma narratif que de la plume, me rappel celui de Robin Hobb avec sa série de l'assassin royal. Les écrits en début de chapitres, l'intrigue lente au départ, plus politique, et ensuite une finale avec plus d'action et une fin qui nous donne envie de sauter dans le suivant immédiatement. En plus d'avoir une série, dont la grande force, est l'évolution de son personnage principale. Le prochain devrait être légèrement différent et j'ai bien hâte de voir la suite.
