I enjoyed SuperMutant Magic Academy so naturally I picked up another one of Jillian Tamaki's books called This One Summer which was written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Jillian. Well, I didn't love it. I didn't hate it either. This is one of those times where I'm genuinely ambivalent. I appre...
I did it! I took the dive and jumped into my first graphic novel, did I like it….definitely not. I was greatly disappointment and not impressed at all. The graphics were okay, but I seriously got tired of looking at all the shades of blue by the time the book was finished. I did enjoy all the detail...
There were a few things about this graphic novel I has a problem with. For example, the art. Whilst I love the landscape and ocean spread-outs, I was not a huge fan of how the characters were drawn. Not that I didn't like the realistic representation of different people (that was actually a highligh...
I loved the artwork in this graphic novel; the portrayal of the characters all seemed so real. I especially loved the rendition of Windy, which perfectly captured that pudgy, just-before-puberty, before-you-start-to-get-self-conscious stage. Most of the story surrounds the dynamic between Windy and ...
This was an interesting book, there were various things that I liked, but there were also various things I disliked. Since I am not feeling all to well, I will just make a good/bad review.Good:-The illustrations, they were pretty gorgeous and I really liked them, especially the huge illustrations th...
These sentences are dappled across a two-page spread of Mariko and Jillian Tamaki’s This One Summer (2014), as though they are wafts of milkweed ink: “The first time I ever saw a milkweed was on the beach at Awago. I thought they were magic pods. I thought that if we ate them, the fluff would make...
August 26-26 Summary -Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose an...
I picked this up from the library yesterday afternoon and, in an hour of total bookish bliss, completely finished it last night. This One Summer is a gorgeous story about growing up. It's about the special places that hold our best memories, and how they change as we get older. About learning to ...
I liked the quiet, meandering story about Windy and Rose at camp. I think this is the perfect graphic novel for people who think sequential art stories have to be about superheroes.
