Overall the book felt a bit random but I still liked it.
N'ayant pas lu la version light novel de ce livre je ne peux pas dire si c'est une bonne adaptation mais en tant que manhua, ce n'est pas le meilleur N'ayant pas lu la version light novel de ce livre je ne peux pas dire si c'est une bonne adaptation mais en tant que manhua, ce n'est pas le meilleur que j'ai pu lire. Les dialogues étaient sans dessus dessous, l'intrigue un peu vague, et ce qui était très bizarre c'est que les chapitres ne faisaient que quelques pages chacun, donc on a des coupures toutes les dix pages. Par contre les dessins n'étaient pas mal. Je suis très curieuse de lire les livres originaux pour comparer.

Most of what we learn about April ends up completely irrelevant, the small town vibes I think the author was going for are incredibly superficial, the murder is solved almost by accident and the ending is lackluster. I still want to try this author's other books as I heard good things but this one isn't it.

Orwell was an absolute legend for this. Also the appendix was extraordinary.

We make it out of enthusiasm, out of what we love." Once I read a book for therapy which spoke, amongst other things, about what in French is called "Pensée arborescente" (I'm told in english it's called divergent thinking, but it doesn't seem to mean exactly the same thing); this book made me think of that concept, because with each subject came a bouquet of thoughts and you never knew where you would end up at the end of the chapter. I liked it as a series of opinions on pop culture, but as an memoir/essay collection of sorts it was a bit disorganized.

I read the first two installments last year and was looking forward to this one. I had a suspect in mind for the culprit for most of the book but the resolution surprised me. In any case, I like these books more for the romance than for the mystery, and Juliet and Jonathan's relationship was a delight as always.

I could have done without the weird stuff about women and the weird stuff about Asian people.
Dans l'ensemble je pense que je préfère les pièces de Sophocles à celles d'Euripide, il a des vrais moments d'humour que j'ai beaucoup appréciés.

(view spoiler)[Ajax - 4/5 - Sophocle est beaucoup plus drôle qu'Euripide, la dispute entre Teucros et Menelas (booh) et Agamemnon (boohx2) m'a achevée. Antigone - 5/5 - Antigone mon amour ma vie. Œdipe roi - 4/5 - Iconique Électre - 3/5 - Je trouve que la version d'Euripide était non seulement mieux écrite mais aussi plus intéressante. Cette Electra est presque une version soldée d'Antigone. Les trachiniennes - 2.5/5 - Hercule aurait dû souffrir plus... Quel gros porc. Philoctète - 2/5 - Ah super. Mes deux personnages préférés, Ulysse et Néoptolème, unis pour manipuler un mec qu'Ulysse a abandonné sur une île pendant dix ans afin de conquérir Troie. Génial. J'aime trop. Œdipe à colone - 4/5 - J'aime beaucoup, je suis une grande fan de rancune, donc Oedipe qui meurt et se fait enterrer loin de chez lui pour faire chier ses proches est très iconique à mon avis Les limiers - C'est un fragment de rien du tout, donc je ne donne pas de note.

I am not a teen, nor have I been for a long time, but even so it feels a bit patronizing to present the most surface level intrigue, characters, romance, worldbuilding and some average writing and to call it a day just because it's aimed at a younger audience.

Also, it was boring, I'm sorry.
