I love the Lumberjane comics and was so excited when my dad bought me this but now that I’ve read it I’m kind of disappointed. The story is great and does follow the Lumberjane timeline but the writing wasn’t that good. It was juvenile and almost like reading glasses a semi-good fanfic.
I feel like I've missed a lot since I haven't picked up the graphic novels. A lot of descriptions are just missing and I don't have a clear picture of what these characters and the setting looks like.
I LOVE all things Lumberjanes!
Not necessary to have red the comics before reading this, however why ever not?!

As a big fan of the comics, I found this book really delightful. Like in the original series, they really throw you right into the story, which some kids might love and others might find confusing. I loved the additional illustrations--the design of this book is absolutely wonderful. I really hope this engages new readers!
There's some moments of pure brilliance in here: The swearing by taking the names of random feminist icons in vain instead of the lord's name in vain is pretty great, the Guerilla Girl Dance Craze " ...not a complicated dance. To do it right, you have to have a really good growl, know how to do the Yoko Ono Slide, and have a general knowledge of the history of women in art."
But mostly, it's just a pretty bland story about some one-dimensional kids who are sorta jerks. The comic isn't just better, it's MUCH better.

Unicorns, cloud people, and singing accordion versions of Sleater-Kinney songs around a campfire. LUMBERJANES ARE THE BEST Y'ALL.
It's fun - but loses a lot when you take it out of it's graphic format.
