Le jour de la naissance de Jack, en 1874 à Edimbourg, est si froid que son coeur en reste gelé. La sage-femme qui l'a mis au monde, mi-sorcière mi-chaman, remplace l'organe défectueux par une horloge qu'il ne faut pas oublier de remonter tous les matins.

I didn't dislike this book, but as I was listening to the hypnotic voice of Jim Dale I kept thinking that I would have enjoyed this more if it had been presented as linked Short Stories. I enjoyed the metaphor of a clock representing a heart and not breaking the hands of the clock or not getting your heart broken in love. This might be an interesting readalike for those that liked The Night Circus.A hurricane in a skirt named Miss Acacia, a pet hamster named Cunnilingus, tiny bottles filled with one's own tears, and a cameo appearance from Jack the Ripper... What's not to like?! In "The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart," Jack's life depends on a clock installed in his chest. But Jack must be careful, because anger or love will break his fragile heart. Still, he journeys from Edinburgh to Andalusia in search of his beloved Miss Acacia.Mathias Malzieu paints delightfully gorgeous and
If you're a fan of this book then stop reading now! You won't like what I'm about to say...Maybe it's the writing or maybe it's the translation but I really did not like the way this book was written.

This book was okay. Good but not amazing. I liked some parts but overall it wasn't anything special.
I'd tell Malzieu to stick to music, but his music is god-awful and pretentious too.Okay, that's harsh, but seriously. This book has a great premise and is based on a really cute music video. But the book is just plain bad. I read it in French, and then in English thinking I was missing something. I wasn't. The characters are boring, the story is boring. In the hands of someone who could write this might have been a good story. It is full of absolute French storytelling cliches (how many French
