Life through the eyes of a child

A book that describes us life through the eyes of a beaten child, Slimane.
The innocence, the simplicity of the words with which he described what he feels us and endures actually a touching work. This way of direct dialogue with the player and confide in him, forces us to involve us emotionally. We can not remain a mere spectator.

Slimane is not alone in suffering the blows of the Demon (their father), his older brother Maxence, his manual skills to survive as he puts it watches over him. Their mother unable to respond to violence against them her husband and her children, revolted me. How to understand that the woman stay with a man who mistreats his family. Maxentius, who ended up not stand this life of suffering and decides to leave the "Land without adults" did not changed his mind and she clings to this unconditional love to the Devil. It will take an act of courage and despair from Slimane so that finally a glimmer of hope appears at the end of its tunnel. Some children also damaged by life will become friends. Together they will rebuild.

One idea proposed in the book made me smile and I told myself not so stupid. Organizing a humanitarian lottery. It takes a certain percentage of the money that people play and redistributes it to humanitarian organizations.

The author Ondine Khayat, this book shows us that children's bravery often exceeds that of adults. I found enjoyable read and I sometimes smiled at the remarks on the life of this young boy.
The story about a sensitive topic is far from maudlin but moving.

Can a country without adult would not it be better after all?
