Pour Noël, j'aime bien me faire un truc léger et cette histoire était juste parfaite.

C'est l'histoire du père Noël, comment il est devenu le père Noël et c'est super bien écrit et encore mieux lu.

La lecture est faite par Stephen Fry et il a une voix si chaude et ronde, c'est un plaisir de l'écouter même quand il fait des voix (alors que c'est un truc que je déteste habituellement).

L'écriture de Matt Haig est fluide et enlevée, c'est aussi assez drôle. On rencontre les rennes, les elfes et c'est très imaginatif.

Alors attention, c'est un roman pour enfant. J'ai vraiment apprécié mais il faut le garder à l'esprit.

Parfait pour la période de Noël en tout cas.

excellent à tout point de vue (pour enfants)
