Ananas fait sa salade

Summary :

    Since she has gone, Ana is desesperated. She missed Christian, his fifty shades of fucked-up. Only one week later, they see each other : he want her to come back. He is ready for all sacrifies : no rules, just more, with her.

Will she accept ? Can it work ?

Opinion :

    I just love this saga ! I want to read this second book for 2 long months, but I always had something more pressing to read before. Finally, I decided to begin it, even if it doesn't correspond to any challenge. I began it. And even if, it took me one week to read it, I have a big crush ! It's just wonderful ! Usally, I only read 30 or 40 pages, but it was so captivating that I read 120 per day ! It's huge !

    I love this book, but I feel like I prefer the novel in French. Maybe just because I understand more, or because I already know the story now. I did't find the suspens that I have when I read it in French... But, pages turns themselves alone, so... I mean, the surprise was passed, but the interest was still here ! It's a real pleasure to meet them again !

    You know that I love Christian and Ana ! I mean, they are very cute ! I know that Christian could be a bastard, but for he is jus like a lost little boy... He only does, what he know. I love his love for Ana, and the way whose he proves it. Ana is sympathic too. The others are good too : Elena, Leila and Jack bring much to the story ! I love Dr Flinn too ! He is very funny...

     The end is very interesting ! I means the last page is just Wahou ! Actually, the last chapter is Wahou !!! I knew what will happen, but the effect on me was exactly the same than the first time ! I want to read the following book ! I already wanted it before, but... The suspens is here ! I want to know what will happen ! I don't know if I will read it in French or in English before, but I look forward !

A big crush, but maybe less strong than for in French...

Summary :

     A family went to the zoo. They looked at the animals in the cage.

What have they done ?

Opinion :

     At the end of my English classeroom, my teacher has distributed a album for each of us. I have received this one. The purpose is to read it and explain the story and how we can use it in a teaching situation. Personnaly, I read it twice, because the first time, I didn't really like it. So I wanted to make sure, that I all understand before writing my chronicle.

     I don't know why, but the story remind me something, maybe I read it when I was a child... The story is not very interessant... I mean, it's good, but finally... I don't know. The story is a little bored ! Usally, I love album, but here, no. It doesn't inspire me ! I think the more important in the book are the words games and the text's irony. However, I maybe not good enough to understand them...

     I don't really like too the illustrations, neither the characters... I mean picture are rather easy. The featurces are a little rough... Personnaly, they don't are a dream for me. And it's exactly the same with the characters. They are just like a normal family... But, despite that, I don't recognize me in them. They're not very sympathic. But maybe, younger like them...

     The end is strange. I mean it's a little came totally out of field... Yet, it's announced in the summary. But after all, apart from the last page it's never discussed. I have prefered that this comparasion between human's thoughts and animal's thoughts was more present. Here, only the last picture invits to a real reflexion, actually it's my opinion...

Good but not wonderful !

Summary :

    Anastasia Steel, a young student, has to substitute his roomate for an interview of the famous businessman Cristian Grey. At first glance, she is charmed by this mysterious guy. But, behind his good manner, is hidden a dark and tortured side. She had never felt in love of someone and for the first time, she likes a man. They are totally different, so she tries to forget him, but at each time he comes back...

Everybody says he likes her, but is it true ? Can she trust him ?

Opinion :

     I discovered this saga with the first movie, and I bought the trilogie in frensh just few weeks later. I read the two first novel, and it was a big crush ! That's why, I decided to bought them in English with my birthday's money ! Again, I love it ! I don't understand how much I can like them... Again, it was a big BIG crush !

     I have to avoid that I was afraid during the two first chapters... I had the feeling... It was like I understood nothing. There were a lot of new words... But finally, I acclimated at writer's style, and I devoured it ! Pages after pages, I cannot stop myself ! Fortunately, I was in holiday, so I can read when I wanted...

     I knew the storie, but despite that, I felt like I discovered it again... I was fabulous ! I don't know why I like it so much... They are something... At each time, I forgot everything, and read page after page Christian and Ana's aventure ! I don't know what I can say in more... Maybe Read it ! Dispite the fact of the submission, it's especially a romance... A Beautiful love storie, between two young people who discover how they can love... In a word, all of what I love !

     Of course, I love this novel, thanks to Christian ! He is so attractive, so mysterious and so kind too... I mean, I know he is also manipulator and want to control everybody... I don't like who he is in the red Chamber of pain, but, it's impossible not seeing how much he loves her, and how much he want to their relation works... I'm on a cloud as soon as he is here... Ana is nice too. She looks like me, or maybe it's rather me who looks like her. I love his subconscience... She is really funny ! Like kate, I love how she tries to help Ana and does in contrary the opposite !

     I think it was because it's writen in English, but the scenes in the playroom are more difficult to read than in French... This is probaly because I read word by word, so when I imagine the scene I saw directly what words mean whereas in French, it's more abstrait, without forgetting, I understand the implicite or subtilities ! I love this part too, because I discover the text in a new light...

    The end is very good... I never tired of read this book and especially the end. I understand why Ana do it, but in the other end, she has exactely what she wanted... The last pages are wonderful ! I only want one thing : read the following books ! I don't know if it would be the book two or the storie told by Christian !

A big crush ! A perfection !

The revolte is near. Katniss must do all she can to prove it was not a rebellion act, else all people she loves could die.

Can she convince everybody ? What President Snow can invent to controll her ?

Opinion :

    I would like to read since few months, but I haven't time. However, when I saw the last opus of the saga in cinema, I took immediatly the second novel ! I have even forgotten a LC for it ! I have not a lot of time during the week to read, but when I began this book, I didn't want to stop, so I always read one chapter each morning before classroom... 

    Read in English is not always easy, because it's tiring. However with that book, it was not the case ! It was passionated ! A big crush ! I litteraly loved it ! Even if I knew the end, the suspense was here all the time ! It hapened a lot of things which are finally surprising... I discovered again a lot of details, or indices on the real role of character [like Plutarch]. It's wonderful !

     I love the characters... I have a big crush for Peeta, but also for Katniss and Finnick. It's funny, because before I loved Gale too, but since I read the last book, or maybe since I watched the last film, I dislike him... Johanna is very good, she is sinic but all she said is true... I really want to see them again, all of them ! I have never watched, but, it's beautiful how the relation between Katniss and Peeta is built... We really saw the evolution...

    The end is very good ! I love it ! There are a lot of suspense, I want to read the next book ! Even if I already now what will it hapen ! It a very good saga ! I'm very touched by the events... It was like I discovered for the first time de story :) And I don't know, but I have the feeling that read in English, is better ! The text is even more exciting !

A book you have to read ! !

Summary :

     Elizabeth is the second child of five girls. Her mother want to marry them with the best rich gentlemen of the region. That's why, when the manor of Netherfield was rented, she insisted to introduce their daughters. Mr. Bingley and Jane, the eldest, fall in love at the first gaze, but his entourage tries to separe them... On the contrary, his friend, the rich Mr. Darcy appeared like a proud and pretencious man, directly Elizabeth knows that she dislikes him. In spite of her indifference, he seems to like her...

Will Elizabeth's feelings evolve ? Will Jane and Mr. Bingley marry ? What will it happen ?

Opinions :

    Since I was a child, I love this story... I watched the movie one hundred times, and I rencently discover a former serie about it... This two versions have a lot of differences, and I want to know what is the real story. That's why, I asked it for Christmas... I received in French, but during my holliday in Wales, I found it in English, so I bought it... I began with the original text, because it was a challenge for me, and I think it's better in original way, with no traduction to modificate it.

    I will be sincere : it's a crush ! I loved it ! I'm sure, that my familly will laugh, but this story is amazing and wonderful ! I know the story by heart, however there are, in spite of that, a kind of suspens... At all moment, I wanted to read the following chapter. I stopped my reading each night, just because I was tired and that read in English is tiring... For a nineteen century's book, I think there are a lot of events and unexpected developments...

    I'm fond of the characters... except with Wickham, and a little Lydia, too. They are not responsable and sensible ! I cannot bear them ! On the other side, Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane and Bingley are fanstatic ! I love their kindness and their mentality ! They are sincere to the others, and themselves. The rest of the familly is a little... How say that ? They wanted money, especially the mother and little sisters, so their attitude is not always elegant... Same thing for the father, even if, with him, it's more his reflections about daughter's stupidity... It's not very pleasant to read it...

    The end is very very good ! I love end like this... It conclude wonderfully the story, because we have a overview of their life after... I have only one regret, that we don't have wedding's account... What a shame ! But, after that, the description of the familly's feelings and their life are complete and it's enough... I will read the french version, to be really sure I have all understanding, but finally the vocabulary is enough easy...

     I have also a little remark to do. It's about the introduction in my edition. A historian did a commentary about this novel and explained the story revealing what happended. I think it's a pity to tell the different events at the beginning of the book. Even if, that's a introduction, it would be at the end of the roman, after be sure that every body knows the story...

A big crush for this classic !
