Interesting and beautiful visual guide to some part of Tokyo. The destination presented were good and pretty but just center too much on parks/gardens, it was good ideas, but surely there is other things, or kind of, to see or do in Tokyo...

Encore une fois Laurent Gaudé frappe fort! Deuxième livre que je lis de cet auteur et déjà, je constate avec quelle force il sait produire une atmosphère envoutante. On se retrouve en Nouvelle-Orléans pendant Katrina, une atmosphère de fin du monde réaliste, on ressent l’urgence, mais en même temps le lâcher-prise de certains personnages face aux forces de la nature sur lesquelles l’homme est bien impuissant. L’écriture comme toujours est parfaite, très bien écrit, le ton juste, une plume poétique, sans trop en faire. Les personnages sont intéressants, certains développements sont un peu clichés, ce serait le seul reproche que j’aurais à faire. Une œuvre que je recommande!

Yeah I've decided. Jeff Lemire is a god and I'm glad to be Canadian just because he is to. Seriously this guy is a genius and a name to remember in the comic book world. His story as well as his illustrations are unique and powerful. I think he is my favorite cartoonist of all time, follow by Alan Moore. This Sweet Tooth story was amazing and I just want more and more of this guy work!! Even if you don,t read comic, his works are so unique and original that it might get to you. I can't recommend it enough! Try it! Start with Sweet Tooth or maybe Roughneck and then tell me I was right!

Mixing poems and informations on birds. Original mix but nothing much of an interest for me in the poems or the info... so even if I like the idea, the execution let me down a bit.

A book about stress for younger reader (not so young, maybe teens) that explain what is stress, how it works and everything and I think that in our world were kids, and people in general, are more and more stress, it's important to help kids learn how to spot stress, understand how it works and help them get over it. Important subject and well enough done book!

3,5/5. Simple and easy to get through introduction and exercises of meditation. For young (teenagers) reader that are neophytes on the subject that want to start learning about it. Simple but well done!

The illustrations of this book were amazing! I really really like the art! The story was also good, even if I find it a bit too light for my taste, it was charming and entertaining so it was alright. A good book!

Strange book that look very very homemade in the illustrations parts. The story has some funny part but in the end a bit meaningless for my liking!

1,5/5. Even if some part of it might be funny for children, I find the story just mildly entertaining and the message in it resonate in a strange way in my mind, not so sure I agree with it.

4,5/5. Beautiful book! Marvelous artwork, magical story, even have some vocabulary building in the color department. I'm not really sure about the ending, I like it but at the same time, not so much, I would be curious to see how kids would interpret it. It also have, almost forgot, a way to introduce a dialogue about grief. Very well done. I love it.
