J'ai plutôt bien aimé mais c'est compliqué pour moi de m'attacher aux personnages dans un livre aussi court, je sais qu'il vient d'un film et je pense que je l'aurais un peu plus apprécié si j'avais vu le film avant.
Quoi qu'il en soit, pour noter le livre et uniquement le livre, c'est un setting que j'apprécie, une école prestigieuse, un prof qui n'est pas comme tout le monde et qui apporte un vent de renouveau aux protagonistes, c'est ça qui a permit à ce livre d'avoir deux étoiles.
Pour ce qui est du reste...
Je n'ai pas accroché à l'écriture, ni aux personnages. On passe d'un endroit à l'autre et d'un point de vue à l'autre de manière aléatoire, c'est très déroutant et ça m'a freinée dans ma lecture. L'écriture avait l'air pressée, l'auteur ne faisait pas de descriptions, juste du dialogue et quelques actions.
192 pages, ce n'est pas suffisant pour s'attacher aux personnage ou pour s'accrocher à l'histoire.

i love dps so much, it strikes a big chord inside of me and i love the story no matter the format, but i won’t lie, the book did not live up to the movie. i still give it five stars because like i said, i really love the story regardless of how i consume it. i found that *some* changes/additions in scenes were quite unfavourable in my opinion? some might disagree because i think it’s subjective, but i preferred how the movie displayed all the scenes and such. but to also add onto that, there were some additions that i did really like, so im not completely unsatisfied with it. i felt that the language used was a bit surface level, and i went into the book expecting to really see welton through the eyes of the dead poets but i don’t think that was really given, and overall i wish that it captured the atmosphere that the movie gave. it felt more like reading what happened instead of really feeling it. however, i will say the last couple pages (after neil’s play) were done really well and i found that it had a stronger shock factor and the added scene of keating at the dead poets society meeting in contrast to neils feeling of isolation and helplessness was really touching. as i said, the book didn’t quite give me what i wanted after seeing the film but im still content (and crying), will probably reread again through.
