A bit predictable at times but made me cry and felt original plot wise

Re-read. This remains one of my favorite books of all times. Sobbed just like I did the first time reading it. I also did a combo with audiobook (narrated by the queen Julia Whelan). The ending of this book makes me feral.

L'écriture est réellement superbe. L'autrice a le don de nous faire sentir dans le moment notamment via la description des odeurs. Surprenant. Toutefois, j'ai trouvé le début tellement lent et peu intéressant. <Spoilers>Je me suis écrié "Enfin!" à 50% i.e. au moment où on sent qu'un événement important au plot arrive enfin. L'aspect le plus intéressant était la relation entre Addie et le Démon/diable. Finalement, un livre correct qui a pris beaucoup de temps à lire et qui me laisse sur une impression d'avoir perdu un peu mon temps. Je laisse cette critique sur une citation "Que la vie, c'est toujours une minute de moins que le temps qu'on aurait voulu avoir".
