I was 15 pages into the book when I had the thought that you're not supposed to know what kid grows up to be Wolverine, lol

Really enjoying the art, so pretty 😍😍

I did not realize that this was a graphic novel until I looked it up after listening to the audiobook That certainly explains why the audiobook was so short. It was also very different hearing a graphic novel as an audiobook compared to other audiobooks. I did find it enjoyable, but probably would have rather enjoyed it more as the graphic novel.

April 7th #DynamicDs DifferentlyAbled Love this series. DareDevil is definitely on my watch list even though there are only 3 reasons. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I chose this book to satisfy a reading challenge that my cousin gave me - it counts as a graphic novel, yeah? I‘ve seen the title pop up on banned book lists and like most banned books, I think this ought to be mandatory reading. I‘m not usually one for graphic novels or comics, it‘s just too much visual clutter for me, but this book was absolutely brilliant and the images were essential. Definitely tore my heart out a thousand times.

This was fun! It was like a call-back to the stories I‘d read my kids about cute animals and their lives in a small town. Except here we have serial killers. And Samantha is pissed that someone is murdering people in her hometown, which she never does; she goes to the big city for that. What will she do??

Roary47 This looks so cute and creepy at the same time. 😅 1h

A story that epitomizes complicated parent/child relationships. The illustrations made this graphic memoir work for me, otherwise it would have been just okay. (Not a huge fan of memoir.)

Throughout I really wanted the perspectives of the other family members to compare it with Alison‘s. Alas, that‘s not going to happen. 😏

A steamboat captain saves an injured mermaid, but her situation isn't as innocent as it seems, and the boat's owner's promiscuity is hiding a complex secret.
What a wasted set-up!
Aside from this beautiful imprint under the dust jacket, I didn't like much about this book. The art was mostly bad, the main character looked like a muppet, and the story kinda sucked until around Page 300, but then it totally flubbed the ending. Very disappointing.

TieDyeDude Sorry to ruin the cover, but I had to show you the main character. Seriously, how do you settle on that design? And yes, he looks just like that 75% of his panels. No one else looks like a muppet, BTW. The book was also way too horny for my liking. 6d
Clare-Dragonfly The art style reminds me of Over the Garden Wall. But if no one else looks like that… 🤨 6d
lauraisntwilder My husband read this a long time ago and I remember thinking the cover was gorgeous. It has such a great set up! I love the idea of a freshwater mermaid. But I never bothered to read it. I guess if he'd thought it was good, he'd have suggested I read it, too? 6d
TieDyeDude @Clare-Dragonfly Maybe I would have been more forgiving if I thought of Wirt 😋 5d
TieDyeDude @lauraisntwilder There were some really interesting aspects of the mythology, it just didn't come together well, IMO. 5d
