obviously, these are small philosophical tales, small story that make us put many things into question and so far we remain in the field of good books werber ....... but what is not written on the 4th of cover is that the author has anyway given a (too) many of these texts in one book and will often desagréble impression of "already-read" .. the idea is good, but for those familiar with other books of werber, you'll get bored too often. and for others, provided be open to such "initiatory", you are likely to love (but in my opinion rather read the other books, which are much better anyway!) but when meme..à when another real novel ?!
