 What a beautiful comic

My review


I must admit, I love to read comics. As a Belgian, we are raised with the 
classic comics such as Lucky Luke. 

However from the first moment I read Gray Cells Comic, I was sold.
Such an amazing beautiful layout, very well painted and the story was 
fantastic!

I really liked the cover too! So if you like to read interesting and beautiful
painted comics, don't hesitate and read Gray Cells Comic.

I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating and I hope plenty of Comics will
follow!


The book


Gray Cells was published on 30 January 2023. It contains 150 pages. 


Booktasters


As always, I want to thank Booktasters and the author as well for providing
me a free copy in return for my honest review. Which I did. Thank you very
much!

Bookreview: The Dream Factory

Written by John Simes 

"What a page turner"


Summary

After the violent abduction of his parents by the criminal 'Golden Hand', the
16 year-old Peter Young and his brilliant friend, Navinda Eman, flee to the 
Dream Factory - a stone hunt on a deserted beach. Peter has a precious secret
that he must protect, but someone in the village is determined to find them 
and destroy the Dream Factory.


My Review


While reading, I always make some short notes, but this time I absolutely
wanted to know the end. So, be aware, this is a real page turner! I even 
couldn't stop reading. 

I liked the lay-out, the clear chapters and the fantastic characters of the
story. It was a mix of adventure, fantasy and humour.

Later I learned that this is the author's first book. This is very hard to
believe!

My conclusion: don't hesitate to read this book, if you like adventure
and fantasy. I give with lots of pleasure a 5* rating.
