It is not thick this book (only 200 pages) and structured into small sections so fast I went straight into history. The simple writing reminded me of the book "All Together" Ana Gavalda (which I looove). As for the character Jocelyn, through his love of life and his way of appreciating the beautiful simple things in life, it also reminded me Josephine at the beginning of the story "The yellow eyes of crocodiles" when it occurs and that it only deploys tips treasure and energy to get by. I understand the reluctance of heroin to reveal his winning lottery ticket lest the simple and beautiful things of life are ruined but the end, I had not imagined and I did not like it. It is almost contrary to the rest of the book and Jocelyne are lost to me his beautiful soul and the ability to marvel at life and the small pleasures it can bring in without it being aware of it. Too bad I would have 4 stars ...
