Anyway* by Arthur Salm5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Mad Max) tell his story and how much I think you’ll love it too." † ![]() I wish I had marked specific passages or examples to share with you, but it's so short, I just recommend you read it yourself. ![]() Heck I did: I feel like it's a 3.5 star book but I can't help but give it the full four because it was just so much fun and Max & the others enchanted me. I think reluctant readers and fans of graphic novels will appreciate both the creative format and the character & his adventures. ![]() Ditto the middle-school voice of the narrator. But after awhile I got used to them, and there were fewer, so it was ok. The footnotes are distracting to me, an experienced reader, as they interrupted the flow. Nice touch that there are doodles, too: each chapter number is hand-drawn differently than every other. Reminds me a tiny bit of Diary of a Wimpy Kid but has much more heart, more depth & meaning, and fewer pictures & more words. like every other young teen, whether or not they live in privileged circumstances. But Max does have a way of feeling that everything that happens to him is a melodrama. Nobody here is going through serious trauma. Nice to read a story with both parents present, loving, and competent. ![]()
