I was not expecting anything from Marc Levy, and I had a priori reason.
The thief had the shadow base everything to please me. Imagine a kid who has the power to steal the shadows of others, or at least, to interact with them. Base very nice start. And at first it starts pretty well. (Especially when you read the back cover: "Now, sit down, it is necessary that we speak," said the shadow. "I sat cross-legged on the floor.
" You have a very able rare, you must accept to serve thee, even if it scares you.
"What for?
" Find those whose shade you steal this little light that will enlighten their lives, a piece of their cache memory, that's all we ask.
"Us
" We, the shadows, blew her to whom I spoke. "
I smiled, I understand very well what she was talking ".")
The hero is rather endearing, and when he discovered the famous power, he has reactions rather realistic, fear, interest, experimentation ... Mix a story of childhood in a bit of surreal is more like a great idea then.
What I find regrettable is that the side of fantasy novel that takes up almost the first part. Then, poof, there is no question that the famous power. There is more than life main character, his medical studies, problems of romance (with a bit late anyway botched by the way), and his relationship with his mother. What is the purpose then to introduce it?
I could go on the weakness of the writing of Mark Levy, who writes if not necessarily evil, not a style of most wanted. It may be fluid, but still, a little more research into the turns of phrase would not hurt. But now, a lot of good ideas, it does not ultimately as much.
A novel that reads quickly, but I forget very quickly as well.
shame, given the idea.
