review 1: My English teacher told me I had to read this story. Honestly the driest moments of my entire life. The art is not equally distributed to the massive amounts of texts. In my opinion this is a short story that they added a few words to... There is very little closure and the conversations are way too wordy. The art is still interesting at least (Honestly the only reason I stuck out to the end of the story). I do however enjoy the ending of this story, but I'm positive it was not worth the wait. I do find how they talk in this book quite laughable, "ZOUNDS! What happened her? Let us proceed below decks" (12). Seriously? Who talks like that? I know they're french, but why is that even necessary? I also have a sick sense of humor and live in the middle of a hicktown so proper ... moreEnglish is not something common to hear. I would recommend this story to people that actually enjoy a story that takes a while to develop and has a long introduction. I personally would not recommend any of my friends to read this because I know they wouldn't be able to sit through it. Tread lightly.
review 2: Plot-wise it was a little thin and predictable and lacked a little something; there's no thrill or excitement that younger reader oriented stuff like this should have. Mostly it felt like a vehicle for Tardi to draw lots and lots of cool shit. I've read him before and I've always been very impressed by his art, but this was some next level work. There are no adjectives that will properly prepare you for just how good this book looks. less
