Well I'm mostly up to date with all my manga series so I was looking for some new one and this one was one of those I always hear good things about so I decide to have a look. Strong start! I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Sure there is action and violence, but also an intriguing story that grip me from the start and now I will probably have to spend a lot to by the entire series, but I'm really lookinf forward reading it!

Que dire… C’était mauvais. Très mauvais. Dès les premières pages l’écriture, ou plutôt la traduction, me pesait lourd. Sans doute une des pires traductions que j’ai lues. La syntaxe, les tournures de phrases fonctionnent extrêmement mal. J’ai d’autres livres en anglais de cet auteur, il faudra voir si vraiment il s’agit d’un manque de style de sa part ou si c’est bel et bien la faute du traducteur. Je n’étais pas au bout de mes peines. Les personnages sont un ramassis de clichés, l’histoire est lente et une caricature en soi, la portion horreur ne fonctionne pas, la «première partie» est trop longue pour ce qu’elle apporte et on se retrouve donc à lire deux fois la même histoire dans le même livre… Bref, déception par-dessus déception, ce fut un moment de lecture assez pénible.

Very slow, tiny supernatural part but mostly historical and not a very deep atmospheric one, we don,t feel that Titanic, places and or period of time, so well and it felt too me like a pretexte and a strong marketing move to place it as the setting. The writing was always, like I said slow, but smooth and pleasant enough to read. Not a bad book, just not my kind of books!

3,5/5. Entertaining! Lighter and more humoristic than the original My hero Academia, but nonetheless a fun ride. I will look into volume two and decide if I want to continue or not after, might be a bit too easy going for me... Not sure yet!

4,5/5. Another good thriller in the Helen Grace series. Even if the conclusion of it was predictable, the characters development, the fast pace action until the very last page, she does close her book with the final bang, no fluffy conclusion in hers, and the overall investigsation made it an engaging and captivating read. Helen Grace is a different kind of investigator and I like that a lot, we get a bit less of her "marginal" personnality in this third book, but she is still who she is. Maybe this series lack some depth, some more psychology or just a touch of something more to achieve a true five stars, but nonetheless an author worth reading or discovering if you like thriller!

3,5/5. Ce livre n’aura pas été le plus grand succès pour moi, mais il n’est pas mauvais du tout. L’auteur y présente sa démarche de développement personnelle à travers la philosophie, la psychologie et la spiritualité. Il vulgarise avec succès un sujet pas toujours simple à synthétiser et à bien expliquer Le livre est simple et accessible, tout en contenant une certaine profondeur. Il pourrait être une belle porte d’entrée pour ceux qui veulent amorcer une démarche personnelle dans ce sens. Pour ma part, ayant beaucoup lu sur ce sujet, je n’ai rien trouver de bien nouveau pour moi, mais vraiment pour des raisons personnelles et non en raison d’un problème ou d’un défaut avec le livre.

I will be against the majority here, but this book felt very overrated! Not the depth and the philosophical/spiritual thinking I was expecting. Low psycho-pop clichés rambling around to make it look more complex. Big disappointment, having hear of this book around for years and finally picking it up for that... Not the level of an Alchemist by Coelho in my opinion. If it did help you or made you feel better than it's good for you, but there was nothing in this book for me!

Interesting development! The action is great, but I would like a bit more depth in the story, learn more about the world, the Titans origin and more... it might come later on, I sure hope so. Not totally hook, but curious enough to keep on with it!

My God! I'm not saying that lightly, I'm not a OMG person, but this book was something else. Perfectly written, in a minimalistic use of word, but with a precision rarely achieve and an amazing chemistry between the chosen words, the syntaxes and the ideas.

It has been a long time since I had to stop reading to wipe the tears running down my cheeks. Suicide and death of love one is something that touch me deeply and so this book felt very emotional to me. My mother is going to be 60 this years and she is one of the few people I truly love or care about in my life, I can almost count them all on the fingers of one hand, and three of them are already dead so... and even if she is healthy enough, the idea of eventually loosing her is something that I know will devastated me.

This book also bring the background life that people aren't just the role they have in our lives. Our mother is, yes a mother to us, nut she is also a wife, a friend, a daughter, etc. and we never truly can have access to all of her, to all this different aspect of her life and personality. Your mother had a whole life before you and another one that is hidden, inaccessible to you. I pick the mother because of the book, but this is true for everybody. And has I grow older, I realize that the people we love might be the people we know less about, because we aren't always honest to them, not lying, but sometimes just not telling the entire true to "protect" them or not hurt their feelings. Like, for example, a mother could tell a friend, or even a stranger in a bar, that she never wanted to have children, but the chance that she says that to her children is unlikely, even if some do of course. And this book made me think a lot about that.

A masterpieces of empathy, life, love, lost and so much more. I can't recommend it enough!

2,5/5. More or less the same comment I had with the first one. Not bad, a bit too light hearted for me, but the humor is good enough, the animals characters will be a hit for a lot of readers, especially young ones I think. Not bad in anyway, just a bit easy going for me, but at the same time I was curious enough to pick the sequel so...
