It really is a book to take it as it comes, much like the author's gift. No, of course, this is not the first time that we are the hero of a book, but this is the first time that we book familiar terms: the narrator, the book itself, takes us by the hand free to us to follow it or not; reading is a contract between him and us. We are free to accept to be clear about ourselves for a moment to accept all confront, the best and the worst -the violence and gentleness. This is a book that does what we want, which plunges us into a little state 'second' - if and only if we agree to play the game - and images - our images, our memories - come alive . My only reservation: passing on the reunion with your soulmate !! (Perhaps I lack romance? I always had a little trouble with this Platonic myth ... and I close this hyper-personal parenthesis) written very simply, very short, with bare phrases (Shifts the world of fire and its list of disasters and wars !!), initiatory journey somewhere between Siddartha (Hesse) and the Little Prince, in short, a book that feels good, that is dreaming, which carries little we let them. Almost my favorite Werber, behind the Thanatonautes even more experimental. A simple book, highly recommended by an inveterate dreamer !!!
