Un libro absolutamente brillante.

Esta es una obra que te hace ver las cosas desde otro punto de vista. Te muestra, desde la perspectiva más inocente, una historia silenciada en occidente, abriéndote los ojos a una parte fundamental de la historia universal que ha sido ignorada sistemáticamente y cuya crudeza se desconoce.

Realmente te cambia la visión de la vida. Todo el mundo debería leerlo.

This book taught me about a part of the world I know little about. It, also, gave me a history lesson from an insider’s point-of-view. The animation gave some relief to the heavy topics. This was my first time reading an adult graphic novel. This art form brings lightheartedness to the reader.

This is fun to read despite the heavy topics. The art form provides relief.
