Review of Percepholis Comic Review!
I thought that this was a very effective form of writing (/drawing) a review of a book. It's a good story in the first place, and gets attention, and this way of looking over Percepholis totally fits. However, if it is just supposed to serve as a book "review", it then reveals a bit too much of and undermines the plot. There is a heavy amount of text for a comic, which makes it less leisurely to read. It does go beyond just the content of the book though, and touches upon the artist's style, effects, and background. It might have been difficult, or at least more so, to read if it wasn't in comic form. However, the characters are not anything special, as they are in Percepholis. This makes Percepholis just seem that much better in comparison... but then again, maybe that's the whole point of the review! I liked how it ended stating that Percepholis is more than a "great story" with "cool drawings", but that it also has a complex meaning, many points, and is very unique -like this review!
