I also really like learning about Europe, so seeing a non-fiction biographical graphic novel about Winston Churchill made me quite excited and I just HAD to pick it up.
This book isn't the purest of graphic novels. If you're expecting something like a manga or comic book, you've got to get through the first half. It's more of a history textbook (in a good way - very informative and knowledgeable) with real pictures from Winston Churchill's past. He's a really interesting fellow, and this book gave a great overview and biography of him. This book is really just an introduction and overall summary of this man's life, but it's exactly what I expected it to be. Let's be honest, this man was basically a legend for all of the things that happened in his life, so 100 pages wasn't going to cut it for his ENTIRE history.
Once you get past the introduction, you get into the graphic novel portion and it is SUPER COOL. The illustrations are detailed, the colours are rich and it suits the story really well. It's really interesting to look at just like the information is interesting to read.
Overall, this was a ridiculously cool graphic novel and I'd love to see more bios written like this. It's awesome!
Four out of five stars.
