I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
So I never heard of this show, then again I don’t live in America. But I still had to have this comic as it sounded like a good bunch of fun.
However, right of the bat I have to give -1 star for my e-copy. It is a nice idea to have a choose your own adventure story, however that just doesn’t work for an e-copy, especially on tablet, and if it doesn’t have clickable links (then again I can’t imagine clickable links working in a pdf on a tablet). I can’t really easily flip back and forth on my tablet, plus the numbering isn’t right either. It is at least 1 or 2 pages off. So I just read the story as it was, and when I came across the remote control stuff, I just treated it as the normal story even though I was annoyed at it all. Such a shame.
But the rest of the story was a delight, it was a bit too magical at times how each of the sisters (and also Lincoln) differed so much. They looked the same for most (either brown, yellow or white hair + same-ish face), but really, each one has a different personality? Totally different, that I even wondered if these kids were really a family, or if they just got thrown together. I know at times families can be different, but this was a bit too extreme. I guess that is the selling point or something?
I am definitely glad we didn’t get to see any diaper antics in this one. I am not sure if I would have continued reading if that happened.
I did love that, while at times fighting, went along so well for most of the book. This guy is stuck with 10 sisters, but yet it seems all quite peaceful at home. I am sure the parents are breathing a sigh of relief over that.
As for my favourite character? I think I will go with the ditzy sister. It was just brilliant to see how her brain worked. How if someone said she should go fishing (in a card game) she would truly go outside and fish.
I also love the pets in this one. Yay, a hamster!
The art was pretty fun, I quite like the style, it fits perfectly with the Loud family and their chaos.
All in all, I did quite enjoy myself while reading this one, and I would recommend it. However I would recommend the paper copy, as then you can do the choose your own adventure type stuff.

'The Loud House #1: "Fullest House"' by Chris Savino is a graphic novel based on the new Nickelodeon show.
Lincoln Loud is a middle child. He has 10 sisters, 5 older and 5 younger. Each sister has her own personality, and it's tough for Lincoln to do simple things like watch television.
Along with some short comics, there are some comics with Lincoln looking for the remote. These comics feature Lincoln and one member of the house. At the end, the reader can choose to ask a different member of the house and turn to that page to find out what happens. It's a fun kind of choose your own adventure.
The art is fun. The characters are a bit one-dimensionals, but that's to be expected from a cartoon with so many characters. There is an interview with the creator of the series included. I've never seen this cartoon, but the graphic novel was a lot of fun to read.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I have never seen this show so I went into the book cold. Now I want to find its station and watch. The comic was funny. There is a running gag about Lincoln not being able to find the remote. In a way it is a “chose your own adventure” because every time the remote comes up, the reader can choose who they want to talk to and go to that page. A fun series that I am glad is in graphic novel form.
