Book Review – Riven by Bo Hampton and Robert Tinnell
Publisher: Dark Horse books Sep 2012
A netgalley ARC
Graphic novel, horror, werewolves
This is a graphic novel (cartoon strip book).
The plot is tight and complete and the characters and their actions are believable.
There is a little too much swearing for my liking, it is not really necessary to the plot.
The pictures are well drawn and the colours chosen help to create the requisite mood.
It is a little too simplistic for adults and too explicit for children.
If the swearing were to be removed I feel it would be most enjoyed by children aged 12 and up.
I didn’t love this book and it didn’t really grip me but it was a quick read and good light entertainment so I will give it a star rating of 3/5 – I liked it.
