The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson
3.0
3 stars.
This was a fun graphic novel. But also kinda bad in parts. This is a story essentially about child abuse but written in a funny tone. I also wasn't a huge fan of the color palette used throughout the book, nor was I a fan of the way the characters were drawn in a "human but slightly off" style.
However things i did love? I loved them a lot. There was a lot of good one liners and the plot moved at a consistent place. The little funny plot reveals were cute and adorable. The plot twist about the mom volunteering her up for this came at the right point and the author did a good job at dehumanizing the mom further and further as time went on. Big Sugar being the evil company was very apt.
