Visually, the book is an absolute delight. The colours are bold and bright and the characters are able to communicate a wide range of emotions as the story progresses. One feature I found particularly interesting was the way the author drew the eyes of the characters. In most scenes, the eyeballs are white and blank, although still managing to convey expression perfectly. However, in the more intense scenes in the book, the eyes of the characters are drawn in a more detailed way and the visual effect is powerful. I also liked the scenes where there was no dialogue; just a sequence of 'silent' images depicting the passage of time. Again, the style of these images has a powerful effect.
The book is the first in a series and ends on a huge cliffhanger that will leave readers desperate for more. I'm afraid that it's too late for me. The author has worked his magic on me and I'm hooked. Completely hooked. We also have a review of [[Hilo: Saving the Whole Wide World (Hilo Book 2) by Judd Winick|book two]].
If you like this book, you will probably enjoy the excellent [[Star Wars Jedi Academy by Jeffrey Brown]], a very funny comic-book story set in a middle school far, far away.
