5.0

Je n'ai même pas les mots pour décrire à quel point ce livre m'a touchée. Je n'ai jamais lu quelque chose d'aussi émouvant, et à la fois optimiste. Le point de vue de "Momo", un enfant pourtant plein d'innocence, apporte une dimension davantage profonde à ce livre : il dit les choses comme il pense, comme il les voit à travers ses yeux de néophyte. C'est véritablement un chef-d'œuvre, une déclaration d'amour à la vie qui ne pardonne pas.

5.0

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

2.5

2.5/5 — L'histoire est profondément ennuyante par moments, mais Regain reste dans l'ensemble un roman intéressant pour les amateurs de descriptions de la nature provençale à la fois sauvage et enivrante. La plume de Giono est un véritable travail d'orfèvre, ce qui symbolise un atout de taille et justifie ma note.
