« Je pensais que le lycée me hisserait plus vite vers l’âge adulte. J’étais encore petit : sur le photo de classe, je suis parmi les assis du premier rang, tout près d’un coin où resterait un grand « A » cerclé peint à la bombe. Pour moi le lycée avait été peuplé par des gens supérieurs, qui avaient occupé le foyer, bombé les murs et mis le feu à la porte du surveillant général, Monsieur Lesourd. Je compris vite que ni moi ni personne n’en ferions autant. »     

Les années vides sont celles de ce jeune homme qui intègre la sixième en 1969 quand d’autres changent, si ce n’est le monde, leur monde.
Découverte de l’adolescence, des relations, souvent complexes, qui s’établissent par logique, par hasard ou par dépit. Découverte du corps aussi, par le biais d’une professeur de français maoïste qui semble conforter le garçon dans une vision crue et réaliste de sa vie. Il s’écarte toujours plus de cette jeunesse fantasmée, il est comme écrasé par le poids des anciens. Certaines expériences pourraient l’intégrer à ce monde : expérience de la fumette, du sexe en groupe, du militantisme avec la mobilisation de l’hiver 1974 ou encore des concerts, mais rien ne le touche comme il l’espère. Il se sent vide, en-dessous de ce qu’on attend d’un jeune homme de son époque, imperméable aux plaisirs de la vie lycéenne et de ses distractions qu’il rabaisse au rang de supplices. La réponse se trouve peut-être dans la découverte des Beach Boys et de l’album Pet Sounds : « Des voix d’hommes se mêlaient trop aiguës, se perchant et s’étirant jusqu’à la fêlure. Ils tentaient en vain de redevenir des enfants, mais une lourde pierre lestait déjà leur cheville : ils disaient adieu, les yeux pleins de larmes, à cet âge de leur vie. [...] Ils se noyaient et c’est cela qu’en moi je pleurais sans honte. »

Subpar everything
Format: Hardcover
I read almost all the new Batman comics that come out...I haven't been this disappointed in a book in a LOOOOONG time. So boring. Bad art. Bad dialogue. Superficial/basic characters. No emotion. Half-baked Elseworlds universe (if you going to make some changes - make it worth it!). I could go on. When it got to the "big twist" at the end, my eyes rolled so hard I got a headache. I wish I didn't waste my money on this.

Better than the Chronicles
Format: Paperback
I hope DC keeps on publishing these omnibus series up to the silver age and also the softcover option. I much prefer these new softcover editions over the older chronicles series for several reasons. These STGA softcovers are very big almost twice the stories compared to the chronicles and at a very affordable price. Actually a very good price. Also the paper is one hundred times better, I hated the chronicles' paper. Amazon is wonderful too, they now deliver my comics to my house in Costa Rica in less than a couple of weeks, they always arrive before the scheduled time. Excellent service. The only thing to complain is the reproduction. I consider that Marvel makes better efforts than DC to restore their GA stuff. The Cory Sedlemeier books like the Marvel Comics Golden Age omnibus look like they were drawn this morning. DC is usually quite cheaper and prefers not invest in that. So we get the same results as the old early 2000s Archives. I know today it is impossible to get original art pages of action comics 1-10 But I still think that compared to Marvel DC is very lazy and a skintflint when it comes to restoring their old books.

Got it for my college class, it was a required text.
Format: Paperback
Got this book for one my college class, no joke this was a required text. But overall it was an okay read, only reason why I gave it a 4 out 5 is because I prefer to read books for enjoyment and interest, reading a book for class takes that away.
