Éditions Alire.

« Recherchons douze individus pour expérience scientifique passionnante. Celle-ci, supervisée par des psychologues, cherche à étudier et analyser les comportements des humains lorsqu’ils se retrouvent dans un groupe précis dans un contexte particulier. Les participant(e)s doivent s’attendre à une aventure très immersive, très stimulante, mais qui demandera de l’adaptation physique et psychologique à des situations pas toujours faciles. Les participant(e)s doivent avoir entre 18 et 70 ans. Nous vous garantissons qu’en plus de servir la science, vous sortirez humainement transformés de cette aventure. »

Mon avis :

J’attend toujours avec impatience le nouveau roman de Patrick Senécal. Car, dans ces romans, la psychologie des personnages côtoie souvent l’horreur de chacun. Comme de fait, on est servi dans cette grosse brique de plus de 600 pages. Les caractéristiques des individus qui feront parti de l’aventure scientifique est exagéré par un peu d’humour. Une introduction assez longue, pour mettre la table de tous les personnages, cependant, elle est importante pour comprendre les actions de chacun tout au long de l’histoire. Comme tout roman de cet auteur, malheureusement les péripéties vont de mal en pire. Les individus devront faire des choix difficiles et devront vivre avec ou pas… Un autre roman de Patrick Senécal que j’ai adoré!

I’ll always remember that look on your face. You saw me. You’ve always seen me. And I think that’s all that anyone wants.

Sometimes, you do things and you do them not because you’re thinking but because you’re feeling. Because you’re feeling too much. And you can’t always control the things you do when you’re feeling too much.
