Giulia is a "nose": she works in a perfume factory that mainly makes cosmetic products.She who was so passionate lost her passion, between her separation, her job that bothers him and the hassle caused by her teenager as sons.Arthur, since it is him, is in school dropout.When he does not ruminate his anger against the whole world, he indulges in his passion: the graf.In addition to his books which he carefully refines, he also tagged the city walls, becoming the number 1 enemy of the civilian association which prides itself on maintaining order in the small town.A series of events will push Basile and Arthur to get closer, two people similar to the opposite course ...

A puff of optimism

The Bazaar du zebre à dots is again a novel bordering on the personal development book, a very popular category at present.All the elements of the genre are united: a hero confronted with mistrust and the bad intentions of others, a single mother in trouble who feels constantly feeling and a bad teen in her sneakers who do not know as reaction to the world thatsurround that aggressiveness.Their meetings will show them everything that can be done when you trust and you believe that happiness is possible.

If there is nothing to complain about as for the substantive message, the form is more criticizable.The novel is made up of chapters in which we follow each of the characters in turn (there are not only the 3 main mentioned who have the "right of speech"), which means that they are brief andtry to give depth to the thoughts of each other.Unfortunately, this remains at the rank of the test as everyone's reflections and reactions are agreed and predictable.The dialogues are simplistic and it is very easy to see where the novelist wants to take her characters (and we with it).

Unattractive characters

The first character we meet, Basile, is very clearly the most unfriendly.Great inventor, he is as imbued with himself as convinced that he will revolutionize the daily life of all.His past is very little mentioned, only to talk about sad and/or depressing events and, however, that is not enough to restore his image of M.JESAISTOUT ACCEPT SAVORY SYNDROME.Giulia is still the most realistic character: a talented young woman, whom marriage and maternity have hampered in her career, she struggles to find her place as a single mother with a teenager who is certainly gloomy most of the time, but whois not particularly difficult.As for Arthur, he looks like a large part of the young people aged 16-17 and has, in the end, only a minimal contribution in this novel.

For a few years now, many people have been interested in HPI (high intellectual potential), also called zebras.This category of people, however still very little known, is often associated with characteristics present in each of the three main characters.We can therefore think that the writing of the novel stems from a fashion, even if we know that Raphaëlle Giordano has always written on this kind of themes.

And it is surely one of the forces of this book: in spite of its (many) weaknesses, the bazaar of the pea zebra is rather pleasant and easy to read and it is a safe bet that lovers of Feel Goodor the novelist finds their account there, which is not necessarily guaranteed for other readers.
