Le mystère de la patience by Jostein Gaarder
4.0
I am a bit surprised, but I actually enjoyed this book. Indeed, I am usually not drawn to this kind of ethereal story where everything happens because of why not. But here, it had some depth to it, and it felt less like a non-sense to me. Maybe it was was thanks to the light philosophical aspect of it. Maybe it was the natural logic and order that the cards brought (also in reality).
I loved the imbricated structure of the storytelling. For some reason, it reminded me of my programming courses. Though I must say, you should read this quite quickly, as to not forget any step in the generations. The way all of it wrapped in coming together was nice.
I also appreciated the depiction of alcoholism. Like, it was definitely seen as bad, but at the same time the father was far from being the usual alcoholic asshole. It was really done in a sensible way.
The style was quite simple.
Overall, it was an original and enjoyable simple reading experience.
