Un livre fort intéressant. L’auteur y mélange son expérience personnelle, des faits et statistiques, des descriptions plus littéraires de la situation, e tout dans le but de former et de présenter une vision d’une catastrophe majeure. Pour ma part, c’est surtout le côté faits et statistiques qui m’a accroché, les descriptions étaient bien écrites et tout de même intéressante, quant à l’expérience personnelle de l’auteur, cela m’a beaucoup moins accroché. Néanmoins un livre j’ai beaucoup aimé tant sur le fond que sur la forme.

3,5/5. I first pick this book has a joke. Title and cover go«a»t me laugh like crazy. Old stupid childhood joke with goat... But find it to be better then expected. it has a small general informative part at the beginning and then it present various goat with their picture but also information on the species and geographical location and stuff like that. I didn't know there was so many types of goats and how some really look different from the more common picture we have of this animal.

Like the goat one but about horse... General information in the beginning and the various types of horse with good quality picture. The horse lover will enjoy! The ARC copy I got has two book in one. At the end of the book, it started back again, so we get double page of all... Which isn't necessary of course!

Ohhhhh that was good! A candidate for best of 2020 early in January! This book has everything : very well written, some might find it a bit prosy but I was fine with it, strong casts, and it was at it best bringing the best of every genre with a strong thriller/crime elements, hard scifi and a touch of horror. It take on the time travel/multiverse take in a very original way and just deliver a mesmerizing story that I think will stay with me for a long time. I know this author have another novel, a previous one, behind his belt and now I really want to have a look. I highly recommend reading this one!!

Very different from the first four volume, lot less action, but solid character development through it so that make it really interesting. I like it a lot!

Mélange de préfaces, de critiques et d’exploration littéraire sur les grands classiques. J’ai beaucoup de mal avec ces livres, surtout avec un titre comme celui-ci, qui semble vouloir encourager à lire les classiques, mais qui en même dans leurs écrits, dévoilent, divulgachent et brisent souvent une partie du plaisir. Peut-être préférable de lire après avoir lu ces classiques, ou avant de les relire. La réflexion littéraire de Calvino est intéressante et pertinente, mais l’intention du livre et la façon dont il est mené me laisse un peu perplexe.

Still getting better and darker. Can't wait to read the seventh and final book of this magnificent series!!

So good, and gain, rereading it, at this point we feel the ending coming and just can't wait t go on with it, if not rush right through it!

3,5/5. Maybe not as educative and learnful as I was expecting and hoping for but I still learn quite a bit and enjoy my reading. My main problem with it that some chapters were focusing a lot on eating or the fishing for selling and eating of the octopus but when you read a book about such an amazing animal and that you want to earn about it, actually reading about eating is not the point and not very interesting… that was a weird editing choice in my opinion. Then it also have the writing that try sometimes to hard to be funny which didn’t work for me and it isn’t what I want to read, again, in a book like that, bring me facts, research, this is non-fiction, I want to learn not be entertain! It was still good, yes I learn, but it could have been so much more!

Really cool presentation and, not a step by step guide but still, a interesting guide, coach of what you can do and how you can do it with just basic tools like pencils. Original and beautiful, good work!


Not for me. The art was okay for its style but the humor behind it all was just too easy/simple for my personal liking. I didn't enjoy it!
