Rated Ma reine 10/10
Une histoire très facile à lire, d'une délicatesse incroyable, émouvante et prenante. On comprend ce que le protagoniste vit malgré son 'handicap', le monde tel qu'il le voit. L'auteur décrit à merveille ce que ressentent ceux qui ne pensent pas comme le commun des mortels. Une histoire prenante pour laquelle j'ai versé une larme. Vous ne verrez plus les personnes un peu 'bizarre' de la même manière après ce livre.

Rated A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail 8/10
This is not the male version of Wild - no hard-earned self-discovery, not many stupid mishaps. Instead, this is a pleasant stroll up the Appalachian trail (or at least parts of it) with sprinklings of history and local color and the stresses of an unlikely hiking buddy relationship. Altogether enjoyable. A nice bedtime read.
Rated The Elegance of the Hedgehog 6/10
I expected a bit more of a story, but was surprised at how well the author kept my interest even with nothing going on. This book will appeal to you if you are enchanted with social and philosophical rumination and commentary. There is some tension in the development of relationships but, for the most part, the work is personality and insight-driven. Small complaint: I was sad to find the voice of Paloma, the girl who is one of the two first person narrators, become secondary about 3/4 of the way through.
Rated How to Tell Toledo from the Night Sky 10/10
