That is, the main part is clearly intended to shock the reader. But there's not always another point than the shock itself, though, and that dilutes the quality of the short stories.
Some stories were quite good and I enjoyed them but other ones were not up to the others. The poems, however, are among the sh*ttiest I've ever seen published ...more

The first part of the collection seemed to me lighter, more cheerful than the second, more melancholic.
There is plenty to eat and drink here. All the texts are not equal, some stanzas are beautiful flights of fancy, others seem a bit cheesy.
I will retain from this collection a very elegant choice of words and a word without equal, but texts a little (too much?) superficial.
I will read Les Ronces again. Four stars

Dans Les Ronces, nous découvrons un ensemble de pièces en prose, aux mots choisis et à la nostalgie certaine d'une vie si vite disparue, pour Cécile Coulon qui n'a pourtant que la trentaine.
La première partie du recueil m'a semblé plus légère, plus enjouée que ne l'était la seconde, plus mélancolique.
Il y a à boire et à manger ici. Tous les textes ne se valent pas, certaines strophes sont de belles envolées, d'autres semblent un peu chiquées.
Je retiendrai de ce recueil un très élégant choix de mots et un verbe sans pareil, mais des textes un peu (trop ?) superficiels.
