J'ai adoré ce livre que j'I dévoré entre des sanglots bien sentis vers la fin. J'aimé parce que c'était bien écrit, parce que c'était aussi des rires et des fou rires.
La seule note discordantes pour moi fût l'âge de Clark. Comment elle pense, vit, est ... on dirait plutôt une jeune fille qui n'a pas plus de 21 ans et qui se cherche .... c'est la partie la moins crédible du livre.
Est ce que je recommande? Oui

Compelling read, well written, hard to put down. Thought-provoking, bittersweet.
An individual with no caregiving experience is hired to look after a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic who has all but given up on life. Eventually, the two overcome their mutual uncertainty to form a bond, experiencing happiness, adventure, and, ultimately, love. This, by the way, is the premise of Intouchables, a great French movie that came out in 2011. It’s also the premise for this maudlin novel released in 2012.
I liked the two main characters. It was fun to read on vacation. But my god, by the end of it I had to throw it on the floor for the ridiculous class propaganda it had. Or maybe I just didn't like the ending. Either way, snooze.

I legitimately don't understand why people like this book. I thought it was junky writing for a heavy subject. Didn't work for me.
