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.

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 ...

Graphic Novel review - Taproot by Keezy Young

Taproot By Keezy Young Buy it here Publisher: Lion Forge, LLc  ISBN: 9781941302460  Number of pages: 128 Taproot is a colourful graphic novel following the lives of Hamal the kind florist who can see ghosts and Blue the lovable dead protagonist who is struggling to move on. When something strange keeps happening to the ghosts in Hamal's life Blue is put on a path to get to the bottom of it. Taproot is a lovely story with a great reason for being written. When the book ends a note is written about the author that explains she writes stories she wished she saw available when she was younger with "stories starring queer characters, brightness, a little creepiness and a lot of heart". This is brought perfectly and is a great read for anyone.
