Reviews
Un bon livre. Cependant, je me suis parfois un peu plus ennuyée avec le côté historique (même si cela est fort nécessaire pour replacer les choses dans leur contexte), j'aurai préféré suivre avec fougue ce fameux pingouin tout au long du livre, sans appart historique donc. Mais cela reste un bon livre dans la mesure où il nous donne une bonne dose d'optimisme, d'altruisme et le narrateur possède une plume teintée d'humour.A lire ! La version anglaise est facilement abordable
