Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Simple

Simple dit "oh, oh, vilain mot" quand Kléber, son frère, jure et peste.
Il dit "j'aime personne, ici" quand il n'aime personne, ici. Il sait compter à toute vitesse : 7, 9, 12, B, mille, cent. Il joue avec des Playmobil, et les beaud'hommes cachés dans les téphélones, les réveils et les feux rouges. Il a trois ans et vingt-deux ans. Vingt-deux d'âge civil. Trois d'âge mental. Kléber, lui, est en terminale, il est très très courageux et très très fatigué de s'occuper de Simple.
Simple a un autre ami que son frère. C'est Monsieur Pinpin, un lapin en peluche. Monsieur Pinpin est son allié, à la vie à la mort. Il va tuer Malicroix, l'institution pour débiles où le père de Simple a voulu l'enfermer, où Simple a failli mourir de chagrin. Monsieur Pinpin, dans ces cas-là, il pète la gueule. Rien n'est simple, non, dans la vie de Simple et Kléber. Mais le jour où Kléber a l'idée d'habiter en colocation avec des étudiants, trois garçons et une fille, pour sauver Simple de Malicroix, alors là, tout devient compliqué.

Appraise Regarding Books Simple

Worse than Oh boy, I was disappointed

My Brother Simple is an incredible novel with a flowing plot and perfect characters. For me this humorous love story was impossible to put down. It follows the life of Kleber and his brother who has learning disabilities, Simple. Kleber saves Simple from the Malicroix mental institution, their fathers solution to Simples disability. Kleber then takes Simple to the city where they move into a flat with other students at Klebers college. Immediately everyone in the flat found Simple frustrating

This book was such an emotonial rolercoaster, at least to me. I smiled, laughed, even teared up a bit.. It's a story about characters that feel real, and I think that's what makes it so great.

Kleber Maluri is 17 and lives in Paris. 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

I recently read 'My Brother Simple' by Marie-Aude Murail. It is about a teenage boy named Kleber Maluri who is looking after his brother, Simple, so Simple doesn't have to go into a institution. 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

A touching story about a loving young boy going through hardships of taking care of his brother with disability.
