J'ai fini! C'est livre était mon première livre en français, et il était un bon choix pour pratiquer la lecture française.

Cependant, je n'aimais pas beaucoup le protagonist, Amos. Il était trop parfais, comme Jason du Heroes of Olympus. Blech. Je ne suis pas attaché à il. Malgré de ça, je pense que l'histoire n'était pas mal.

Il avait beaucoup des creatures/dieux de la mythologie grecque et égyptien. L'histoire rappelle moi à Percy Jackson (mais vraiment Amos Daragon est plus vieux et québécois, n'est pas américain ou plus nouveau, quelque chose que je pense est intéressant). Cependant, Percy et très, très meilleur parce que il est imparfait et marrant (et oui, je sais que je suis partial à Percy, haha).

De toute façon, même si je n'aimerais pas ce livre beaucoup, il n'était pas horrible. Pendant j'ai lu, j'ai écouté le livre de audio aussi. La narration (de l'autour lui-même!) était fantastique - je recommandé avec certitude! Seulement pour ça, je suis heureuse que j'ai lu/écouté a ce livre. De toute façon, je pense que je ne veux pas lire le roman prochain. 2.5 étoiles.

I read this on the train on the way back from ComicCon Montreal because my friend and I had run out of reading material and swapped. He's been telling me for a while that Amos Daragon is his favourite series ever and I can tell why. It is very good. The only thing is, I was reading the graphic novel. I could tell that many elements had been cut (and I was also informed of it) and even though the art was absolutely stunning, I wasn't as engaged in the story as I could have been if it as written out. I do plan on reading the full books one day, I hope to enjoy those more because there is so much potential in this story.

I couldn't get past the mechanical sound of the language, how stated everything seems with little charm. Perhaps because mine is a translation, the translator didn't quite know how to relate that magic? I see that people really get into the second half of the book, but, I couldn't make it past the first.

Ce fut une lecture rapide de ce petit bijou de littérature jeunesse! Je me souviens avoir adoré la série lorsque j'étais plus jeune, mais je peux affirmer toujours apprécier l'histoire et les personnages.

Un livre parfait pour les gamins avec de l'action, une jolie plume et une imagination débordante. Mon flo de 10 a tellement aimé nos lectures qu'il n'était plus couchable ;)

It was a close call for a bit there as to whether or not this would ever make it to my read shelf. I was not impressed, but suspect a whole lot of little boys out there will dispute my opinion.
