How Do You Know If A Plantar Wart Is Dying

"Bless you" Fabrice Colin

This reading of "Bless you" marks the pleasure of playing relaxed, fun, entertaining and oh so hilarious. It also marks a common reading initiated by Acro and relayed to the blog Bragelonne .

This reading date there are two different months now and I hope my non-Alzheimer tangles detected yet not my opinion on this story.


+ + + The back cover + + +

Everyone knows Newdon, the fabulous city which combines human and enchanted creatures. But do you know John Moon? He is the coach of a team of ogres completely brutalized, their last championship. And Vaughan, the elf who has trebled its first year of School of Magic? Or Gloïn MacCough, the dwarf who made the flowers fade just by looking? While this is pathetic trio met before a few pints at the local pub, the Devil comes to town in search of a key that would open the gates of hell. And mocking fate has set his sights on our friends to foil his plans ...


+ + + + + + My opinion

From Fabrice Colin I had read his text published in the anthology "Back on the horizon" ( reviewed here) that I liked. with "Bless you" it radically changes the registry, if he played the game a piece inspired by a Philip K. Dick it is oriented fantasy comedy. Although the shortcut with a Terry Pratchett is easy but I think gear, then develop a bit please.

Seduced by a simple and effective coverage of editing Bragelonne 10 years, I bought this beautiful book. Then one day Acro offers a common reading of this book, then I hop I say yes and go.

And then one day play starts, won in a parallel universe, see fantasy in a fantasy London soberly named: Newdon. And here we are wearing a serial loser meets the sweet name of John Moon, QUARTEK coach, but still pretty brutal sport nationally, where he excelled by his great void. Also missed all his friends that he distinguished themselves by their inability equally relative. Vaughan Elf being a magician unable to cast a spell and is a dwarf Gloïn vegetarian unable to grow a plant. In short, a trio of zeros which is illustrated by its potential close to nil. Loser this side of me a lot more elsewhere because it reminded me of Nick Hornby's books , English author loosely chronicled in its pages . Moreover, being a loser myself endowed with a certain experience, I like to read this kind of preposterous adventure.

short you'll understand that we are in a book imbued with a downright offbeat humor may seriously crazy. Well, it's make or break this kind of humor, but I really loved it. I enjoyed myself on this reading, yet I confess I do not have to be a good reader of literary humor, but Fabrice Colin succeeded on this one then. Playing with names, phrases and situations to place a pest in your humor carefully debrided. What is particularly successful these are the dialogues that are effective to cheer the last of cranky! Take yourself a look at this excerpt:

- Master?
- Yes? asked the Devil, who thought that title was addressed to him.
- Oh, you gonna shut up? Baron whispered furiously.
- What? said the Devil.
- No, it was not for you, master.
- Not to put me? Mordayken tell me, I appreciate the kind words and I know that laughter is the essence of man, he was a dwarf or another or in short, and I know how it feels many thousands of years that I'm stuck down there, but anyway, is what you do not want to go a little faster?
- Right away, Master, right away! replied the baron, a thousand pardons, O glorious Prince of Darkness!
He literally hopped on the spot while his servant, still dripping, rose at his side.
- Master, "whispered the ghoul Nozdryov I lost a finger.
- You know where you can you put it?
- How? said the Devil.
- No, I talk to my ghoul Baron explained.
- Okay, "said the Devil, who was obviously beginning to lose his composure. It's perfect. It's fantastic.
- Thank you, master.
A sigh of ten tons of the crypt rose and fell like a souffle.

y 'Certainly it's humor, but the story then? Well it holds up, the book is released easily as we want to see what happens. More Fabrice Colin, gifted with a pen style rather fluid, known to punctuate his story to avoid falling into the trap of the succession of gags in the playoffs, this time by infusing some emotions (Or romance?) And questioning the reality of this crazy adventure: that we live is it real or just fantasy literature?

"Bless you" is indeed an excellent entertainment. The kind of book you take to relax and forget everything, the kind of book that you get away and brightens the kind of book that makes no sense unless it be to have fun. Perhaps add the forgotten favorites of 2010. In any case, certainly the kind of book that would offer to those who love fantasy and humor!

I also applaud the fact that this book, besides its beautiful illustration David Oghia enjoys a beautiful print on paper label Imprim'Vert . Too bad that does not Bragelonne all his books like that.

Well excuse me but you'll have to go buy other books Fabrice Colin . Suggestions?
