review 1: I liked the concept, not sure if I loved the book. Each independent story in its own was adorable, but in my mind they were really disjointed. I know that when there is a collection of stories they do not have to be connected, I just personally like them better that way. The art styles were all independent which also helped remind me that they were only connected on the theme idea of flaws in human life. My favorite of the three stories was by far the first one. I cannot personally say I sit in my room and read smut and fantasy while my mom gets slapped around, but I do know what it is like to live in a fantasy world. Not saying I didn't like the other stories its just that was my favorite.I recommend this book to people that need a quick read to pass some time, like books... more on general/basic human nature, or just like Gene Yang books.
review 2: The Eternal Smile was a very intriguing interesting book.It included 3 separate stories that each had an inspirational massage and lesson. The first story was about a monkey king who was discriminated against because he had little power and height. To prove his strength to all the gods,demons,angels,and spirits who laughed at him. He mastered stages of Earth's elements. He demolished everything that was in the way of his plan to kill each person who threaten to kill him because mastering these elements were illegal or prohibited. The monkey king had the power to destroy anything he wanted except one person. The monkey was unable to destroy his creator. This was a very valuable lesson that has been taught to kids,mostly teenagers. The second story was about a frog who had a dangerous obsession with money. The frog was very greedy and willing to do anything in his power to get money. He has a spiritually weak assistant who let the frog abuse him way to many times. One time, the frog gets so mad at his assistant because they failed at earning money that he accidentally killed his assistant. This lesson was also very essential to being a decent human being. The 3rd and final story was about a woman who desperately wanted a job. She gets the job and this e-mail is sent to her about this african prince that needed money and his account and that he was in stocks and she would get most of the money.This was clearly a scam and part of her knew. But she gives him the money. Each time he asks for money the amount gets higher. She finally persuades to meet him. And they meet less
