A sa surprise, la lèvre de Deuxfleurs tremblait. Le touriste ne regardait pas seulement le monde à travers des lunettes roses, Rincevent le savait... il le regardait aussi à travers un cerveau rose et l'écoutait par des oreilles roses.

Vous trouverez ici mes impressions sur des ouvrages que j'ai lu, des films qui ont retenu mon attention et parfois des séries.

Sur ce, je vous souhaite une bonne navigation mais méfiez-vous d'une chose, j'ai une tendance à m'adresser plus à ceux qui ont lu ou vu ce dont je parle, donc quand ce n'est pas votre cas, évitez de continuer votre lecture quand vous atteignez le paragraphe commençant par "dans le détail" ou voici la partie spoiler mais dans la plupart des cas, les spoilers sont en surlignés.
