The Children's Home

What a strange and wicked story... I've just finished the book and I must admit I'm feeling a bit weird about it. The story takes quite a time to start, getting all the elements in the picture one by one, and getting slowly weirder and weirder.

I must admit that the Neil Gaiman feeling is quite there, as we're digging in some dark fantasy world (While the world where the story is based could seem quite real, some elements are disturbing, or seem “off place”, giving the whole a weird feeling, like when you feel that something is wrong but can't quite tell what exactly is happening.). For some parts, it also reminded me on American Mc Gee's work on Alice in Wonderland, by the same wickedness and the way some characters acts, like they seem to know way more than they should. But all in one, the story ends to be really interesting, even if it takes imho a bit of time to get there. So, if you like some twisted and dark fantasy tale, you should definitely go for this book !
