Un volume qui démarre une nouvelle aventure de cette série, on se retrouve donc à suivre indépendamment chacun des personnages jusqu’à ce qu’il se retrouve, ce qui entraine une certaine lenteur et un manque de cohésion sur l’ensemble du livre. Malgré cela j’ai bien aimé retrouver ces personnages et cet univers. Le tout est une fois de plus bien illustré et mélange habilement les scènes d’action et l’évolution de l’histoire. Des personnages plus «matures» on nouvel ennemi, la suite semble prometteuse!

I recently discover the work of Vincenzo Balzano, which is the illustrator of that book. I love his works. his style, remind me a bit of Jeff Lemire in some way. Unfortunately he only did the art and not the story. The story was okay, nothing bad in it, just very light and slow so I didn't enjoy it very much.

I think that younger reader might enjoy it more, could be a good way to get into a different style of comic and into a weird fantasy word with great artwork. Maybe not... but I think it might.

Another great book by C. J. Tudor. There were some loose ends that were forcefully explain and resolve at the end which made me drop it one star, but nonetheless a wild ride totally worth reading. Her writing continue to improve and she did create good characters even if some clichés were a bit too present, same could be said about the story, mostly the ending. Tudor is a big fan of Stephen King she never hide away from it and she might have the same kind of trouble with her ending then some often judge King about. So even if not as wonderful as I would have like it to be, my expecting were too high and I know it, it was a fun, entertaining true page-turning book that I would recommend.

I still think The Chalk Man was her best in term of story and would recommend starting there, but as a writer she continue improving and I'm very cuprous to see what she will present to us in her next book, which go out in February 2021 if I remember correctly!

Sharp poetry, short, cutting edge and very emotional. Yes all the book is more or less around the same topic so if you don't rely to it or have empathy toward it you might not like it much, but I think this is a very well done book, heart heavy but with a strong meaning and message to it that should be read by many!!

2,5/5. Well it wasn't for me... I had high hope for this one and the beginning of it had me, with the beautiful writing and the atmospheric settings the author describe so well. Unfortunately it stops there! I like a good ambiance or atmosphere for sure, but it should be there as a background for a story. In this book, it takes all the place and there isn't much more lefty to anything else.

The story could have been original when it was originally published, I don't know I wasn't even born yet, but reading it today, you know exactly where it's gonna end even before starting it and it never surprise you in any way. This sub-genre as been so work on in book, but also a lot in movie and TV Show, and I might enjoy them on TV (currently watching The Haunting of Bly Manor and so far so good!!, The Haunting of Hill House was a true master-piece!), but I have a harder time enjoying them in book.

So I can enjoy this kind of story, and should have, but I didn't. I find it slow, predictable and even if the atmosphere was great, it isn't enough in my opinion to make it a good read!

Un bon roman, mais sans plus, j'avoue ne pas comprendre l'engouement de certaines personnes et les prix littérares qu'il a remporté. En gros, une enquête policière sur la mort d'adolescente dans un lieu isolé (terrain de camping). Histoire classqiue, personnages assez classique, avec quelques clichés et rtien de très accrocheur. L'intrigue fonctionne bien, comme la plupart de composantes de ce roman, tout fonctionne bien, mais rien n'est vraiment spectaculaire ou ne se démarque. Le point fort, le tragique du réel et le réalisme exprimé par l'écriture de l'auteur, on se croirait dans une histoire vraie et c'est comme s'y on y était, pas de flafla inutile, pas d'artifice, juste et simplement la tragédie réelle que peut engendrer ce genre de drame. Ce réalisme n'est pas négligeable et fait que ce roman mérite un 4 étoiles, mais il a aussi le double tranchnt qui fait que par manque d'éclat, ce roman ne peut mériter le titre de chef-d'oeuvre.

Deuxième lecture de ce roman, en livre audio cette fois. Sombre, prenant, très bien écrit. Un livre à lire… au moins une fois!
De plus en relisant ma première critique, j’ai trouvé ma note pertinente, mais mon commentaire un peu dure… comme quoi on change!

A quotes book! I like those ones about fictional characters, the one about Tyrion Lannister was awesome and this one is also great. We get insight from Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek with a good bunch of quotes from various episodes of the TV Shows, might have been some from the movie too, but I’m honestly not sure, bad memory, sorry! Great coffee table book for the fans of the franchise that you could pick and read some thoughts. Could also be use from the mega geek as a trivia, try to know from which season or episode the quotes is? I’m honestly not that good, again memory, but I’m sure some dedicated fans could have some fun doing that! Well done!

As weird as it may sound this was brilliant! Short funny sentences that play with words and page space. Simple, but perfectly execute and very funny actually and of course a lot of place to doodle around! It has been a while since I look into one of those and I’m glad I pick it!

Entertaining, not totally sure yet, but curious and interest enough top get the second volume and we'll see from there!
