This was an absolute trip. As a reader I was definitely thrown in the deep end, but the MCs also had no idea what was happening, so I kind of enjoyed the confusion? The plot of the story was unique, but it also has some great Stranger Things vibes. I also really liked the colour palette. All in all, I’m really intrigued to see what happens next.

bookrecsbyjess's review against another edition

dark tense

2.5

I had heard a lot of good things about this series of graphic novels, so I decided to read one. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with the book. 

The art style was cool, and I liked that it took place in the 1980s. 

The characters were really unlikable though. Also, the plot was not very good. The story jumped around and a lot of things didn’t make sense. 

The graphic novel format didn’t lend well to the story because it made the plot confusing. There was also a lot of swearing for a story about 12 year olds.
