I really ENJOYED this !!!! Although I got a bit confused in the middle because I had no idea what was happening with the gold farming and the boy that Anda Helped out but at the end It was Awesome!!!! This brought important issues to the plate with our social life and that it is real to many...

Jen Wang's art was the big draw for me on this one. It's terrific. And while I appreciate several of the book's messages, in the end it was just an okay read. I probably would have liked this more if I was a gamer.

Van 3 estrellas por el arte, que estuvo magnífico, acertado en su tono y estética, pero la historia se queda bastante atrás. La narrativa es confusa, los conflictos se resuelven demasiado pronto y fácilmente (hasta para un libro orientado a un grupo juvenil). Los temas que propone mostrar el autor son relevantes, pero a Doctorow le va mejor la novela tradicional en donde puede expandirse en reflexiones y detalles que no tienen cabida en la novela gráfica.

It was a fun read, but not amazing. Felt like there could more be more story. Would definitely read a sequel.

Gorgeous art, likable characters, and a heartwarming story with real social justice impact. A great addition to the pile of graphic novels showing the comics form is a beautiful storytelling medium.

It's a little heavy-handed, but as an avid gamer, it did give me a whole new perspective on gold farmers. This book tackles some pretty heavy issues and does so in a way that should be easy for budding young activists to understand. I like that the book seeks to open young reader's eyes to the complexities of social issues, I just would have liked the book to do it in a more subtle way.
