Magnifique roman graphique, les illustrations sont à tomber par terre! L’histoire est d’ailleurs tout aussi prenante, malgré qu’elle a mal vieilli sous certains aspects (i.e. le seul personnage féminin et son rôle dans l’histoire). J’ai même versé une larme à la fin.

dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I don't really know what to think about this story. You get why it happened the way it happened (trying not to say any spoilers here) but did it have to happen? It really makes you think. 
It's a tragic story about friendship. I think 'tragic' is really the word to decribe this story. The story made me feel sad and I, again, don't really know what to think about it. 
The writing style was good! I'd like to pick up another book of Steinbeck just because of his writing style. I got into the story from the very first page and it never bored me or anything like that. This is definitely a classic that you can read easily, and even in one day, if you're looking for that!
