Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
With a nod to Tim Burton's wit, Millins "stories from the hole" offer the wild ride of two ten-year-olds destined to set the record for having the pants scared off them. This macabre adventure abounds with non-stop creepiness and features a memorable crew: a vicious hyper monkey, plagues of locust, museums of human legs, and a tomato-growing, one-eyed giant with a deliciously evil plan. The story's narrator, is trapped in a nasty hole with the strange Mr. Flex who recounts the quest of Twig to restore the sight of his friend, Onus. With the help of Twig's sister's ghost, Isis, and the green-haired, tattooed punker, Clay, the boys set out to find the magic tomato of Arugula and must defeat the evil intentions of the villainous leg collector William Ernest Fang.

This is one of the more strange and unsettling books I've read, about a boy trapped in a pit with a man named Mr Flex who tells him a fantastical tale. This is really a modern, dark fairytale, right down to the friendly, conversational gone that the narrator uses. And there are some brilliantly zany details -- a woman who names her child after her old cat, a monkey addicted to coffee, a place named after salad. (
