Thoughtful book
Although the book is meant for children it's worth reading for adults.

Le monde dans lequel vit Jonas est bien éloigné du nôtre : une société où la notion d'individu n'existe pas. Plus surprenant encore : ses membres ne ressentent rien. Ni amour ni haine viennent bousculer leur quotidien. À partir de 12 ans.

good book, more for YA than adults
4 stars
Decent book. Well written. More appropriate for YA readers, but as an adult I can still appreciate it. Wish I could give it 3.5 stars instead of 4 (or 3), but rounded up to 4 because I probably would have liked it more in my youth.
