I remembered that I enjoyed it a lot, to the point of reading most of Moka's work after that.
I had a great time once again, even though I'm not that much into YA by now. I had a hard time getting through the first few pages, because I thought it was gonna be too YA for me but the story speeds up real quick and I forgot all of my doubts.
For a YA horror story, it sometimes gives you the chills and I can imagine why it left such an impression on me back then.
This is a bedtime story. I think reading it at daytime would made it a mediocre book but when the night starts it gets thrilling of sort.
I give it four stars, probably more than I enjoyed it this time but probably less than I would have given before. And after all, I was the target so many years ago, not today ...more

Now that I've access to it I finally can, and it's an intriguing graphic novel.
The atmosphere is heavy and thrilling, the characters touching and well-designed. I'm really looking forward to the following of the story ...more

The story itself isn't that much good either, for it gives too little information for most of the book and too much at other times. Basically, this fifth Harry Potter book is definitely not my favorite one and I'm glad I'm done with it and can move on to the next one ...more

Après une nouvelle relecture pour moi et mon épouse et une première pour mon fils de presque sept ans : "J'ai eu peur. J'ai rigolé. J'ai été joyeux. On va lire la suite demain !"
On a pu suivre l'émotion avec lui, la surprise, l'anticipation, la crainte. Tout un panel d'émotions en un seul livre ! La candeur de l'enfant change intégralement la perception du livre ^^

It's the 7th or 8th time I read Harry Potter and it's always the same pleasure to rejoin all these characters that accompanied me while growing up. There's no surprises anymore but it's still one of my favorite books ...more
