Graphic Novel review - Quiet girl in a noisy world by Debbie Tung

Quiet girl in a noisy world

By Debbie Tung



Paperback184 Pages / Published: 30/11/2017Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing 
ISBN: 9781449486068 



Quiet girl in a noisy world follows the life of Debbie Tung as she experiences the highs and lows of an introverted life.

The book beautifully shows the experiences of an introvert struggling with social commitments and managing to work in a social workplace all while juggling friendships and relationships.

The graphic novel compiles many short biographical stories over the range of three years in a loose narrative which leaves the reader relating with the writer as she exposes her perspective to these situations.

As I read this I found myself in love with the story and relating to many experiences as everything went on and had to disturb my partner many times to show her what was happening.

I would highly recommend this as it was such a pleasure to read and I think many people will relate to Debbie and her stories.

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

The MERCENARY The Definitive Editions, Vol 1 The Cult of the Sacred Fire by Vicente Segrelles Series: THE MERCENARY The Definitive Editions (Book 1) Hardcover: 64 pages Publisher: NBM Publishing; 2 edition (November 10, 2017) Language: English ISBN-10: 1681121247 ISBN-13: 978-1681121246 Buy it Here Blurb "In a lost and long forgotten valley high up in the mountains, The Mercenary has been contracted to save a woman from the mysterious and powerful Cult of the Sacred Fire." Review So I went in blind on this not having heard of the mercenary before but unfortunately it just wasn't my style of graphic novel. I found the art tried to fit in female nudity whenever possible which to be honest didn't actually do anything to the story, the characters could have been in snow suits and still the story would be the same so I felt it was just a little over the top.  I also felt there was no introduction to the story or characters so for most of the book I ...
