I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. This is definitely a very cool format for a biography. Overall, I really liked the book. The artwork was superb. It was very interesting and often humorous (can’t go wrong with depicting Joyce vomiting). I did feel like the book was narration-driven with the artwork just backing up the narration. But once in a while the pictures helped give more detail to vague descriptions in the narration. The narration itself was often pretty simple, but gave a good idea of what was going on during Joyce’s life socially, professionally, and politically. The artwork is what really sold me on this book though. I definitely would like to check out more of Zapico’s work (and of course read something by Joyce). |
