Reviews and Comments

That was a great book, beautifully written.

The Netflix series is pretty good.

Les quelques pages lues promettent un livre exceptionnel.

“The Pale Blue Eye” is an outstanding, if flawed, novel that blends historical fiction and mystery.

It's true that the mystery itself is not particularly engaging and it's maybe too easy to predict the outcome. As a consequence, the twists and turns feel rather forced.

So the novel's greatest strength is not its plot but its rich and atmospheric setting, served by an elegant, engaging style, suffused with humour. Some scenes are masterfully written.

Funny and stylish so far.

I can't say I enjoyed this one. The main mystery is not really interesting and its resolution is weird. Also, the descriptions, even the trivial ones, are sometimes detailed to the point of being annoying.

This epistolary tale describes how ordinary, even liberal-minded people could be swept by nationalistic and fascist fervor in Nazi Germany. The novel is really short and we don't really have time to know the characters enough to believe in them. Still, it is a classic, an early warning cry about the pernicious changes happening in Germany at the time, well worth the read. Oh, and the ending is perfect.

A fun, charming fantasy for young readers. The metaphors and art are a little obvious but the quality of the script and world-building more than makes up for it.

Unique, creepy, and absolutely riveting, plus the art's phenomenal. This is a great time for horror as a genre and this book makes the most of it.

I just love horror stories, especially from James Tynion.

As Jame Tyrion puts it, SU:NC is a horror story, an urban fantasy that takes grounded human characters, living grounded human lives and sees them brush up against the fantastic. I'm not familiar with the Sandman series so I didn't know what to expect really. So far, it's really good – creepy, bloody and intriguing like a nightmare where you don't want to wake up.

And now, I must wait. 😏

A quest by a small blue furry adventurer and his friend set in gorgeous and colorful environments — what's not to like? I can't wait for the rest of this promising mini-series.

Court et c'est tant mieux. Je n'aurais pas tenu beaucoup plus longtemps.
