A review by 4saradouglas
Action Philosophers! Giant-Sized Thing, Vol. 1 by Fred Van Lente

3.0

Action Philosophers! is a graphic novel that explains nine philosophers’ beliefs and what led them to come up with their theories. The book takes an otften dull topic and spins it in a fun and humorous way that keeps readers intrigued and amused. The book covers some adult themes and has some tough vocabulary, but the illustrations and the quick wit will keep older teens and adults reading until the end.

I learned so much from this book and yet I still managed to enjoy myself while doing it. This is an amazing feat considering the book was about philosophers, something I find extremely unappealing. The illustrations were funny and added to the story, and there were many jokes to keep the reader interested.
