Une voix rugueuse et juste ainsi qu'une plume sensible, au service d'un blues-rock vigoureux et juste assez sale. For Kenny Wheeler d'Ingrid Jensen. De tout choeur avec vous. I wanted to read this book because I personally don't know anyone with learning difficulties and I was curious to know how others feel about it and how they cope.

This book fits in the category of 'A book with a male main character'. I found this category very interesting because usually I only read books that have a girl main character. This is because I can relate to them more and I find them more personal, but, I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it was touching, gripping and also very humorous.
I didn't really have any favourite quotes in this book but I had a favourite scene. The scene was set in the flat where Kleber and Simple were staying, it was in the morning with Simple and Aria. Aria is one of the university students that also stays in the apartment. They were both having breakfast when simple started to use spoons to tell his childhood story, how he hated the institution and was so happy when his brother rescued him from it. It was such a sweet scene and really made you think about how positive he was even though he had to deal with such a hard thing is his life.
It brought tears to my eyes and it was truly unforgettable and well written. From this book I learn't that you shouldn't care about what people think of you and you should keep your head up, stay strong and do what you think is right. Also don't judge others because of something that is wrong with them, for example learning difficulties, because they might actually be an amazing person with a huge heart.
The character in this book that interested me was Kleber because even though he put so much effort into looking after his brother he still had a life of his own. Also he always put his brother first and made sure he was ok as well as being strict and trying to teach him how to behave and be kind to others.

His brother Barnaby, known to everyone as Simple, is 22, but has a mental age of about 3, and is inseparable from his soft-toy companion, Mister Babbit. Simple was in a institution called Malicroix, but Kleber knows how unhappy Simple is there, and decides he will look after his brother himself, as their mother has passed away and their father has a new life and is not interested in taking an active role caring for the two brothers.

Kleber has his own hopes and dreams, of completing his second year of sixth form, going to University, meeting a girl and falling in love, but above all he cares deeply for his brother and how he is treated, despite the awkward situations that Simple invariably gets himself, or them both, into, as a result of his learning difficulties. Kleber finds a flatshare in the city where they can both live, and the other flatmates all react differently to Simple, but slowly he will come to influence and change all of their lives.
This is a heart-warming, kind-hearted and moving tale, with a great young cast of characters. It is deftly written, a quick read on the surface, but with clever humour, sadness, and through the portrayal of Simple's character and the way he interacts with and observes others, the author shrewdly reveals the truth about these people.
My Brother Simple is actually a telling exploration of the quick judgments we can make about people and the truth that lies beneath our assumptions. It is an immensely enjoyable and rewarding novel and I would recommend it to young adult readers and older readers too. Feb 07, Noahlitunpeu rated it it was amazing Shelves: Simple has learning difficulties I think I was expecting more from this book, given its popularity on GoodReads. For one thing it is written in a style suited to quite young children, yet the content is definitely too promiscuous for that age group.
For another, the translation doesn't really work; it came across as if the main characters were speaking to French people in English. And I also wonder why the two boys, Kleber and Barnaby Maluri are chosen to be of Arabic descent, an extra complic Simple has learning difficulties And I also wonder why the two boys, Kleber and Barnaby Maluri are chosen to be of Arabic descent, an extra complication that is never really dealt with.
He's been institutionalised for many years, but is very unhappy there, so his younger 17 brother has decided to remove him and find a place for them both in Paris. They eventually find a shared house, with four students, and most of the story covers the interaction between themselves and this group. The characterisations were good and the way the students learned life-lessons from Simple, and vise versa, kept my attention. My favourite character was the talking rabbit, Mr Babbit, Simple's life companion and soft toy, who voices many of Simple's worries and frustrations.
A quick, easy read, but not a book I would particularly recommend, unfortunately. Nutrivo maggiori aspettative dopo il fulmineo innamoramento provato per "Miss Charity". View all 4 comments.

Con Marie-Aide Murail si piange ridendo. La sua scrittura sa sempre trattare temi tosti con un tono lieve tale da ispirare un misto fra compassione e tenerezza. I protagonisti di questo romanzo, infatti, sono due fratelli: Simple ha 23 anni e il cerve Con Marie-Aide Murail si piange ridendo. E viene voglia anche di ascoltarlo.
